Mashed Potato Bake

This is a nice change from mashed potatoes served from the pot after being boiled.  I added some vegetables to the original recipes to give it some personality.  As a potato lover, I knew, I would like this and was happy to see that others did also.  The cream cheese makes a major difference.  The creaminess and added flavor makes the dish.

Mashed Potato Bake

Ingredients

5 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered

1 cup shredded carrots
1 onion, diced
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

Method:


Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain.


In a large bowl, mash the potatoes.  I user a ricer and it does a magnificent job.


Add the remaining ingredients; beat until blended. 

Transfer to a round. baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
