Potatoes Extraordinaire

5 lbs potatoes

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

¼ cup butter

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Peel and cook potatoes as usual in salted water.

Drain.

Mash well.

Add the cream cheese in pieces, while mashing or whipping slowly on mixer. Mix in the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth & fluffy.

Scrape into a 2 quart casserole. Put dabs of butter on top and sprinkle with paprika.

Heat through in a 350 degree oven.

You can make these a day ahead and reheat to eat – it will just take a little longer from cold.
