Philly Mashed Potatoes

4 potatoes, chopped

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon pepper

½ (6 ounce) can French-fried onions, crushed

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash.

In a large mixing bowl combine mashed potatoes, cream cheese, onion, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for several minutes. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with crushed fried onions.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
