What You Need

lb. white or Yukon Gold potatoes (about 10), peeled, cubed

cup BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream

1/2

cup (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) PHILADELPHIA 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese

tsp. onion powder

slice OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, crumbled

green onions, sliced

Make It

COOK potatoes in large saucepan of boiling water 10 to 15 min. or until tender; drain. Place potatoes in large bowl. Add sour cream, reduced-fat cream cheese and onion powder; mash until creamy.

SPOON into lightly greased 2-qt. casserole; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate up to 2 days. Remove from refrigerator 30 min. before baking. Discard plastic wrap.

HEAT oven to 350°F. Bake potatoes 1 hour or until heated through. Sprinkle with bacon and onions.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed but do not sprinkle with bacon and onions; cover with heavy-duty foil. Freeze up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Bake, covered, 1 hour or until heated through, uncovering the last 10 min. Sprinkle with bacon and onions.

Variation

Use any savory flavor of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread to season the potatoes. Or, roast fresh garlic and add to the potatoes for creamy garlic mashed potatoes.

Variation

Sprinkle baked casserole with OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits, chopped chives and/or KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese instead of the suggested toppings.

Delicious! Made a double batch for Thanksgiving and it was all gone by the next day. I used light cream cheese and sour cream and it was still great! Would make again. Easy!!!

I made the mashed potato recipe for my family Thanksgiving, November 25, 2004. I got rave reviews from all that ate. I doubled the recipe, but none was left ...

I made this for my family's Thanksgiving dinner. It was wonderful! Everyone loved it and now want the recipe. This recipe was easy to make and because I was able to make it ahead of time it gave me more time with my family.

I loved the idea of making mashed potatoes ahead of time and putting them in the refrigerator overnight. This recipe came out very good, my family has already requeste them for our Christmas dinner!

Very easy to make and received rave reviews at Thanksgiving dinner! I love that I could prepare it that morning, enjoy the guests, and heat it up in time for dinner. I substituted 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder since I didn't have any onion powder, and eliminated the chopped onions to suit my taste.

This was an easy dish to prepare and I loved that I could make it 2 days prior to Thanksgiving meal. It was a hit and I just had a request for the recipe. Will definately make this again.

I made this recipe for about 6 people who came for dinner last night. It works well for a group that size and was great that it could be made ahead of time. But, it was very bland and dried out quickly in the oven. Next time I'll add milk and butter to the potatoes instead of the sour cream and cream cheese. Maybe add some shredded cheddar cheese.

This was a great make-ahead recipe for thanksgiving. It tasted great and I've already had requests for the recipe. This dish is easy and makes less work if you have made it ahead of time.
