Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe

In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper, and sour cream; set aside.

Prepare and boil quartered potatoes; drain.

Using an electric mixer or a potato masher, beat hot potatoes until they're in fine lumps.

Add sour cream mixture and continue beating until smooth.

Spoon potatoes into a well buttered 2-quart casserole; dot with butter and sprinkle with paprika.

If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until the next day.

Bake, covered, in a 400 deg F oven for 25 minutes (50 minutes if refrigerated); uncover and bake for 10 minutes more or until top is golden brown.

Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
