3/4 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 to 3/4 cup half and half
1/2-1 tsp. Lawry's seasoning salt
1/2-1 tsp. black pepper

Peel and cut potatoes into small, equal sized pieces. Boil for 30-35 minutes in a large pot of water. Potatoes should be soft and fall off a fork when poked. Drain the potatoes then return them to the same pot. Mash over low heat. When thoroughly mashed, turn off heat and add softened butter and cream cheese. Add half & half. Mash until creamy and smooth! Season with Lawry's and pepper. Dish into a baking dish and add a few pats of butter to the top. These mashed potatoes may be made ahead and refridgerated in the baking dish. When ready to reheat, warm the potatoes in a 350 degree oven till butter melted and potatoes are warmed through.
