Mashed Potatoes Extraordinaire

• 5 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (reduced fat is fine)
• 1 cup sour cream (low fat is fine)
• 1/4 cup butter (I prefer butter) or 1/4 cup margarine (I prefer butter)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• paprika (garnish)

1. Cook potatoes as usual in salted water until tender. Drain. Push through potato ricer.
2. Add cream cheese in pieces. Add next 5 ingredients. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Scrape into a 2 qt casserole.
3. Place dabs of butter here and there over the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and heat in 350 F oven until heated through (about 30-45 minutes, depending whether you've made it ahead and have taken it from the fridge).
