Best Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons onion salt
• ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients prepared and ready to go.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot of lightly salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, approximately 15 minutes. Then, drain the water.
3. Move the cooked potatoes into a large mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly.
4. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, milk, onion salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.
5. Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a large casserole dish. Allow the potatoes to cool completely, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
6. When you're ready to bake, take the casserole dish out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
7. Bake the potatoes, still covered, in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until heated through.
