Equipment

  • 6-quart crock pot

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 6 ounces light or regular cream cheese
  • 1 cup light or regular sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder or onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Instructions
 

  • Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain and mash using your favorite added ingredients. Some people add milk, some add chicken stock. I like to reserve the potato water and put in  powdered, fat-free milk.
  • When there are no remaining lumps, add cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder or garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg whites. Blend well.
  • Grease a 6-quart crockpot or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add potato mixture. Dot with butter or margarine. Cool slightly, cover and refrigerate up to 7 days.
  • Take the potatoes out of the refrigerator about 3 1/2 hours before you plan to serve them. Cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring once or twice.
