MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE
This casserole may upset some mashed potato purists, but take heart: one bite and they'll be won over. The genius of this recipe, besides its utter deliciousness, is that it can be made the day before, or even two. Cook the potatoes, assemble the casserole, wrap tightly and store it in the refrigerator. When dinnertime comes, dust it with the cheese, butter and bread crumbs and bake the whole thing off.

- Top the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed crackers before baking: This will give it a crispy topping.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
