Holiday (make-ahead) Mashed Potatoes

3-5# scrubbed baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1/4-1/2c butter
8oz. cream cheese (Neufchatel Cheese)
6-8oz. half & half
granular roasted garlic
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Cut the potatoes into small pieces - no need to peel them, just cut away any dark spots - cover with water and simmer until tender.  Mash with a potato masher and add the remaining ingredients.  If this is a little too thick, add some half and half.  Transfer the potatoes to a glass 9x13" baking pan and broil until the top is lightly browned.  Sprinkle some shredded sharp cheddar over the top if you'd like.  I made these today and will heat them in the oven for the last half hour of the turkey's cooking time tomorrow. . .Lin
