Freezer Mashed Potatoes

5 pounds potatoes (about 9 large), peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 packages (3 ounces each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese (softened or cubed), cubed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain.

In a large bowl, mash potatoes with butter. Beat in the sour cream, cream cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper. Transfer 1-1/2 cups to a 2-cup baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.

Cool remaining mashed potatoes. Freeze in 1-1/2-cup portions for up to 6 months.

To use frozen potatoes: Thaw in the refrigerator. Bake as directed.
