Make Ahead Mashed Red Potatoes

Nothing spells comfort food more strongly than homemade, creamy mashed potatoes. This dish is great to make the night before, throw it in a baking dish and then pop it in the oven the next day for a yummy compliment to your favorite meat.

Here is the recipe...

4lb red potatoes washed and scrubbed
1 stick of butter
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
approx 2/3 cup milk


Quarter potatoes and cook in boiling water until tender. Drain potatoes and transfer them back to the dish they were cooking in. Add the butter and mash until melted. Add remaining ingredients and continue mashing until potatoes are smooth. Transfer potato mixture to a covered oven safe baking dish and refrigerate until ready to use.

When ready to bake, remove potato dish from the fridge 15 min before placing in the oven. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for approx 40-50min or until potatoes are heated through.
