Mashed Potato Casserole

Submitted by Old widow

"This is my Mother's recipe. We always have this whenever we make a holiday ham dinner. It was a big favorite of my late husbands, he would lick the bowl I mixed them in even before baking them. I always have to double this because I have often run out of them with everyone taking seconds and thirds. This can easily be made a day ahead and baked on the day you serve it."
