Freezer Mashed Potatoes - Ready to Eat Version

<p>This recipe was sent to me by a former co-worker and reader who responded to my call for Thanksgiving Appetizers a few months back. It is different then the Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and uses the oven to bake them on your serving day. I thought this might be more plausible at Christmas when there is seemingly "less" food being put in the oven than at Thanksgiving.</p>
