12/03/06 		I read your mashed potato recipe in the big pots section, but was wondering about this. I make mashed potatoes using this great recipe that has a ton of butter, sour cream, half & half and cream cheese in it. You mash the potatoes and then put it a crockpot, refridgerate overnight and then the next day just set the crockpot on low for about 4 hours. It worked wonderful for Thanksgiving.
Here's my dilemma. We are having to travel the Friday before Christmas and will not be home till Christmas eve (Sunday). I am hosting Christmas dinner (Monday). Could I make the potatoes on Thursday or Friday? Would they still be good on Monday?
