Do-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

4 to 6 large peeled all-purpose potatoes, cooked
Salt & pepper
Milk or cream
Butter or margarine

Mash potatoes and season to taste; add milk and butter to reach the desired consistency.

Butter a 2-quart casserole and spoon mashed potatoes into it. Melt enough butter or margarine to cover top of surface completely. Smooth surface so that it is completely sealed with butter. Cool, then refrigerate, covered.

Before serving, heat casserole in preheated 300-degree oven until heated through. Poke some holes in the top so butter trickles down into potatoes. Potatoes also can be reheated in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Makes 6 to 10 servings.

This sounds great, and I'm always looking for "do-ahead" things for Christmas. Any of you experts see anything wrong with this suggestion?
