From another of my favorite junior league cookbooks, "Creme de Colorado", a great addition to holiday meals, or alongside a thick steak. If you don't have time to bake the potatoes and cool overnight, then boil potatoes with skins left on and cool in fridge. For a slightly "powdery" texture, use Idaho potatoes, for a more creamy one, use Yukon Gold.
