Instructions: In college I lived in a large house with 5 other guys (In the town were I went to school (UW Stout in Menominee, WI) students named their houses - ours was called Stagger Inn.) Anyway, one guys mother had the most awesome mashed potato recipe. She gladly shared her recipe with her son and he shared it with all of us. This roommates name was Puda, nicknamed after his last name which was Porter. Even though I havent seen Puda in many years, those potatoes will always be known as "Puda Potatoes!!!" even to members of our family that never met him. Now that Ive bored you to death, heres the world famous mashed potato recipe:

Peel potatoes and cook them in a pan covered with water. (Just as you would for mashed potatoes). Drain. Mash potatoes with cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic salt. When well mixed and mashed, add the chives and mix.

Place mashed potato mixture in buttered casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350F for 1 hour. Enjoy!!!
