I love breafast strata!

Here is one for make ahead mashed potatoes-

Make potatoes to their desired consistency- butter, milk seasonings and all.

When satisfied, add 1/2 stick of cream cheese for each pound of potatoes and mix in thoroughly. Put into a casserole dish.

Reheat the next day at 350 degrees with aluminum foil on- about 20 min per pound of potatoes. Mix frequently to keep from sticking or getting hard on the edges. Taste like you just made em!
