8 or 9 lg. potatoes
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
1 c. sour cream
Salt, pepper, minced onion (I never use the minced onion. I substitute onion powder.)

Cook potatoes. Cream together sour cream, cream cheese, salt, pepper, minced onion. Drain potatoes, mash and blend in cream cheese mixture. Blend well and put into a 2-quart casserole dish.

Let cool and refrigerate. May be made a week ahead of time. When ready to serve, dot with 2 tablespoons of butter, grated cheese and paprika. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes (uncovered).
