  • Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
  • Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
  • Ingredients
    • 3 pounds potatoes (about 9 medium), peeled and cubed
    • 6 bacon strips, chopped
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
    • 1/4 cup 2% milk
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 3 green onions, chopped
  • Directions
    • Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain. Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash potatoes, gradually adding cream cheese, sour cream and butter. Stir in milk and seasonings. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese, green onions and bacon. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove potatoes from refrigerator and let stand while oven heats. Bake, covered, about 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes more, or until heated through. NOTE: For slow cooker prep, prepare the night before, spraying your crock with non-stick cooking spray and put in your cooker on low for 4-6 hours, or until hot.

  • Comment on Episode #251 from Stephen, N1SH
  • Thanks for the mention of the qso mapper project! It was quite by accident that I heard the mention on your podcast as I had just been surfing for a ham radio podcast to add to my routine. I happened across yours, and gave episode 251 a test-listen. I guess fate is telling me to subscribe. N1SH.
