We had our office Thanksgiving luncheon today. Pot-luck, and we have some darned good cooks 'round these parts. Whoooo... now I need a big, fat nap.
By the way - I made mashed potatoes like I always do, but discovered too late this morning that I was out of sour cream. I substituted cream cheese on a lark. Oh.. my.. goodness! Let's just say that my NEW favorite mashed potato recipe is as follows:
*WARNING* Those on a diet should look away. Right now.
5 lbs potatos
1 lb salted butter - real butter, not that Tub O' Churn stuff
1 lb (2 pkgs) regular cream cheese
Heavy pinch of pepper
Dash of ground allspice
Allow butter and cream cheese to soften (leave out at room temp for an hour or two). Peel potatoes, cube or slice, boil in salted water until tender. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mash or use hand blender and cream to desired consitency. The salt in the butter should be sufficient for most tastes.
