I add 1 stick of butter, very little salt instead of the onion salt, use 8 oz of cream cheese, and whip the potatoes to get them fluffy. These will keep for 2 weeks, the older the better. We tailgate with a large crowd of RVers and they all love these mashed potatoes.

Took this tailgating and all 30 people loved it. I used an 8 ounce bag of shredded cheedar cheese and added onions. I reduced the butter to 1/4 cup and used a greased 9 x 13 pan. I served with salsa sauce and sour cream. I had to cook it for 60 minutes. I precooked it the day before and reheated it. It is a perfect cook ahead dish. I am taking it again next weekend. Thanks Karen for a wonderful receipe.

The beans are the best I've had in a long time. I added baking soda to take the strong green taste away and sugar to offset the spices. I used pieces of country ham instead of the hocks. Thanks for the great recipe.
