Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
-
Ingredients
-
3 pounds potatoes (about 9 medium), peeled and cubed
-
6 bacon strips, chopped
-
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup butter, cubed
-
1/4 cup 2% milk
-
1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
3 green onions, chopped
-
Directions
-
Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain. Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash potatoes, gradually adding cream cheese, sour cream and butter. Stir in milk and seasonings. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese, green onions and bacon. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove potatoes from refrigerator and let stand while oven heats. Bake, covered, about 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes more, or until heated through. NOTE: For slow cooker prep, prepare the night before, spraying your crock with non-stick cooking spray and put in your cooker on low for 4-6 hours, or until hot.
