MAKE-AHEAD MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE          8 servings.

On our CTV News at Noon program on December 10, 2007, Leanne 
referred to these as Log Cabin Potatoes. Since then, I have 
received many requests for the recipe so here it is. It can 
be found in my most recent cookbook PamCooks 2: More Favourites 
from the Trillium Cooking School". It's always part of our 
Christmas dinner.

8 large potatoes, peeled			
4 cloves garlic, peeled			
Water						
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened	  
l/2 cup light sour cream
Salt, pepper, onion salt, to taste
Milk

l. Cook potatoes and  garlic cloves in enough water to cover 
until tender. Drain well. 

2. Mash potatoes, garlic, cream cheese and sour cream together 
until smooth, adding salt, pepper and onion salt to taste, 
and enough milk to moisten. 

3. Spoon into warm serving bowl. Keep warm in 200 degree F oven 
until serving time. Can be made ahead, wrapped and refrigerated 
overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before reheating.
Reheat in 300 degree F oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or in microwave 
until hot.
