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?
