In large bowl, combine potatoes, cream cheese, egg/s , garlic powder and salt. Mash well by hand or with an electric mixer. Spoon potatoes into spray-treated or greased 3 quart casserole or 9x13 pan. Drizzle or brush melted butter over potatoes. Sprinkle with almonds (optional) and paprika. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or label and freeze for later.

Freezing and Cooking Directions:
Label and freeze in freezer bags or rigid freezer containers. To serve, thaw completely. Bake at 375º for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden.

Comments:

Options:
*1/4 C. crumbled, crisp bacon may be stirred in for great flavor.
*Potatoes may also be topped with 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese.
