By Linda Larsen, About.com

Make these mashed potatoes ahead of time, refrigerate for up to 2 days, then reheat and keep hot in the crockpot.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. white pepper
  • 2 slightly beaten egg whites
  • 3 Tbsp. butter

Preparation:

Cook the potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and return to dry pot. Shake over low heat for about 1 minute.

Then mash until there are no lumps. Beat in the cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, salt, pepper and egg whites. Place potatoes in a greased 9x13" baking dish. Melt butter and drizzle over the potatoes. Cool for 20 minutes, cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.

Take potatoes out of refrigerator about 3-1/2 hours before serving time. Place in crockpot. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring once or twice. They can be held an additional 30 minutes or more. 15 servings
