Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
6-8 Yukon Gold potatoes (or potato of choice! Red potatoes are great in this!)
1/2 cup of sour cream
2-3 ounces of cream cheese
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 to 1 stick of butter
seasoning salt
pepper
garlic powder
cheese (optional)
green onion (optional)

Directions:
Peel potatoes and chop to a uniform size. Boil potatoes until fork tender. With a potato masher, mash just the potatoes after draining them to allow the steam to escape. Once you have achieved the consistency you desire, begin with your additions. Add in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder first. Next, add in the butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix until well combined. Top with green onions and cheese if you desire.

*To make ahead and serve later, put finished potatoes into a baking dish and cover with foil. When ready to serve, put pads of butter all over the top and bake until heated through. I would only store these prepared potatoes in the fridge for 2 days.
