Hello everyone!

I am so sorry for not posting anything yesterday. A friend of the family was gracious enough to put up some much needed shelves in our garage for storage so our family in the garage all day helping. I'm looking forward to filling up some of my new shelves with steals that I've been finding and stocking up on!

It was during the time in the garage that I picked up the same cold that two of my three kids have. I'm feeling a bit under the weather and have decided to save up as much energy as I can today so I can get back to blogging about some great deals tomorrow!

Be well!

Make Ahead Thanksgiving Side Dish - Mashed Potatoes

2009-11-13T09:56:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Holiday's. We host a dinner for about 20 or so people in our house and everyone brings a dish to contribute to the feasts. Whether you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year for 2 or 20, here's my recipe for mashed potatoes that can be made ahead of time leaving you one less thing to do on the day of. Take this extra time to enjoy some quality time with the family!

Mashed Potatoes

3 1/2 pounds Russet Potatoes
Kosher Salt & Black Pepper
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1 Stick of Unsalted Butter, softened
1/4 Cup Whole Milk, warmed
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream, warmed

Place potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, and let stand until just cool enough to handle. Rub off skins, and discard. Cut potatoes into large pieces.
Combine potatoes, cream cheese, butter, milk, and 1/4 cup cream in a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until combined. Season with salt and pepper, and beat to desired consistency.
Return mashed potatoes to pot, and place over medium heat. Add remaining cream, and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through.
Place mashed potatoes in freezer safe labeled container.

Put mashed potatoes in refrigerator 1-2 days prior to Thanksgiving, allowing the potatoes to thaw. Add potatoes to a crock pot set on low for 2-4 hours until potatoes are heated through. *A tip I use to keep my potatoes from burning is to add a piece of parchment paper to the bottom of the crock pot with some melted butter. Works great!
