3

lb

red potatoes, with skins on (about 10 medium), cut into chunks

1

cup

Daisy Sour Cream

4

oz

cream cheese, cubed

1/4

cup

milk

1 1/2

tsp

sea salt

1

garlic clove, crushed

2

Tbsp

butter

1

pkg

(8 oz) fresh mushrooms, sliced

GARNISH

2

Tbsp

fresh thyme, chopped

1

COOK potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 15 min. or until potatoes are tender; drain.

2

MASH potatoes. Add sour cream, cream cheese, milk, salt and garlic. Mash until blended. Spoon into microwaveable 11x7x2" glass baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate up to 2 days.

3

MEANWHILE, melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Spoon into bowl; cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4

VENT plastic wrap covering potatoes by poking a few holes in the top just before serving. Microwave on HIGH 6 to 8 min. or until heated through; stir. Top with mushrooms. Microwave, uncovered, 2 to 3 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle with thyme.

Makes 12 servings, 2/3 cup each. These mashed potatoes taste like they are straight from the stove top. I love that you can make them the day before and just heat and eat.
