I have two huge bags of potatoes. Any suggestions for using them up? What is your favorite potato recipe? We're talking about Idaho spuds here, not red or yellow.

Thanks!

5 lbs russet potatoes ( 99% of russet potatoes are Idaho potatoes) 3/4 cup of heavy cream (use milk if diet conscious) , 1 stick of butter or margarine, 1 cup of sour creme, salt and a little ground black pepper, 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, 3 slices of cooked bacon or just get some real bacon bits in the salad section at WalMart. 2 tablespoons of chopped chives: boil potatoes until they are tender, warm cream and butter until hot ( don't boil) , fold in Cheddar cheese, bacon and chives and add more cream or milk if too thick. A mixer is not recommended as it is said to make the mashed potatoes gummy! Use a ricer to get rid of lumps if you don't like lumps! Reheat in microwave or on low on stove before serving. Bill
