Thanksgiving 2006 Mashed Potatoes Recipe

1. Peel and cut potatoes into quarters.
   
   
2. Boil just until soft.
   
   
3. Drain potatoes, reserving a moderate amount of the cooking water.
   
   
4. Start mashing potatoes by hand or in a mixer.
   
   
5. Add cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper, sour cream and butter.
   
   
6. Continue mashing until the desired consistency is reached and ingredients are well blended.
   
   
7. Note: Some of the reserved cooking water can be added if the potatoes are too thick.
   
   
8. Put in a buttered casserole dish (or crockpot).
   
   
9. Dot top with additional butter if desired.
   
   
10. Bake uncovered in oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
    
    
11. If making ahead, refrigerate; then bake for 50 minutes in oven or heat thoroughly in crockpot.
    
    
12. In the crockpot, I use the low setting for 5 to 7 hours, stirring occasionally
