I am blessed to have an incredible father-in-law who keeps me overly supplied with the plentiful bounty from his garden. Each week, I think of it like a game show... "Here is your secret ingredient!" and it's my job to figure out what to do with bags full of gorgeous farm fresh produce. This past week, my cooking challenge has been POTATOES... LOTS AND LOTS OF POTATOES! These are a wonderful change from ordinary mashed potatoes and so quick and easy with on-hand ingredients. This recipe was found in a local church cookbook.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Place potatoes in a large sauce pan. Cover with water and boil until very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain.

    In a large bowl, mash potatoes. Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Beat until fluffy. Transfer to a greased 2 quart baking dish.
