This is a family favourite that appears just about everytime we get together. The pic is before baked. Recipe sort of follows. http://tinypic.com/elcr3k.jpg
Here's how I make them. Peel 10 lb potatoes and cut into large pieces. Add a couple cloves garlic and 1/2 chopped onion. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat & drain. Add 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese & about 1/2 a container of sour cream (~ 1 1/2 c), a couple of pieces of butter, & milk. Beat mixture until smooth - be careful not to beat too long or the potatoes will get gooey. Spoon the mixture into a casserole pan. Top with a few pieces of butter, bread crumbs & fresh chopped chives. Bake at 350 F until lightly browned on top.

A few questions:
1. What do you use to beat the potatoes? A hand mixer?
2. When you add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and milk, are they straight out of the refrigerator? Or do you warm them at least to room temperature before adding them?
3. What size casserole dish is that? Ten pounds of potatoes seems like a LOT!

I use electric egg beaters.

Straight from the fridge. I'm a tad lazy sometimes 🙂

It seems like a lot and you will need a big stock pot to cook them in but once they beat down they will fit into a lg. casserole dish - 9,5" x 13.5" x 2" deep

Oh forgot to add, these do freeze quite nicely just warm up slowly and stir.

Sorry never made that but maybe someone else here has.

Jealousy is a sad thing. Sounds good to me, although I'm not sure it fits into my diet too often.
I agree jealousy is a sad thing, rather ugly too.
They are very, very, very good. Sadly they do not fit into our diet often either 🙁 These really are about a 2 - 3 times a year side dish served at special get togethers.

What is that orange stuff on top??
Paprika, I'd wager.
Boron
Butter & breadcrumbs, according to the recipe.
Yeah...I suppose reading the recipe in the first place might have given me a hint....still looks like paprika, which is a staple in my house. Anything pale gets dusted.
