Step 1

Cook the potatoes with 1 tsp. salt, about 30 minutes. Drain. Mash and add the cream cheese and 4 Tbs. butter, garlic salt, pepper and 1 tsp. salt. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until smooth after each addition. Turn mixture into a greased 13 x 9" baking dish. Bake at once or cover with foil and freeze.
