Party Potatoes

Name: Party Potatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 12 servings.
Ingredients: 4 cups mashed potatoes (about 8 to 10 large) or 4 cups prepared instant potatoes; 1 cup sour cream; 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened; 1 teaspoon minced chives; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs; 1 tablespoon butter, melted; 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

These creamy tasty potatoes can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to pop them in the oven (I often do that). The garlic powder and chives add zip, and the shredded cheese adds color. —Sharon Mensing, Greenfield, Iowa

Awesome! I did use garlic instant potatoes and added a little more garlic. Fresh chives are best in this one!

Good, but a little to much of a sour cream taste for us.

Always a favorite, and so nice to have mashed potatoes prepped before the meal. Never was a fan of mashing them right before eating when I'm trying to get everything else done and on the table.

Could you put this in a crockpot instead of baking?

I've always made these with a container of sour cream and chive chip dip and then cheddar cheese on top. Great and very easy!
