Mashed & Baked Potato Casserole

5 lbs. potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 T. minced onion
2 eggs
2 T. all-purpose flour
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1½ t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1 2.8-oz. can French-fried onions, chopped coarsely


Preheat the oven to 325º. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fork-tender; drain. In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat the potatoes and cream cheese until smooth. Add the onion, eggs, flour, parsley, salt, and pepper, and continue to beat until well blended. Spoon the potato mixture into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with the French-fried onions and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until heated through and the edges are golden.
Yield: 6-8 servings
