Thanksgiving Cooks | Cup of Jo

Do this:

5 pound bag of russets
Stick of butter
2/3 brick of cream cheese (6 ounces)
Half and half or milk, possibly a cup
Salt and pepper.

Fill a big pot with water and convey to a boil. Add peeled and quartered potatoes…..when the water comes again to a boil (about 6 minutes), cut back warmth to a delicate boil and prepare dinner until fork tender (about 22 minutes). Drain totally and return to pot. Hit it together with your electrical beater, dump in cubed butter and cream cheese and permit a couple of minutes for every part to soften collectively. Whip once more, this time including half and half or milk till clean and creamy. Pile right into a buttered casserole and right here’s the most effective half— when cool, cowl and refrigerate. Sure, do forward of time…..I made mine yesterday.

On Thursday take out of the fridge and permit to come back to room temp. You possibly can warmth this within the microwave ( I cowl it with a paper plate) for about 12 minutes. Or within the oven for about an hour, loosely lined with tin foil. Both manner, stir a minimum of 3 times whereas heating. You possibly can add just a little extra milk if they appear too stiff. Virtually fail proof and scrumptious.

If not this 12 months, attempt them subsequent Thanksgiving. Wishing everybody a beautiful vacation.
