Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the cream cheese, butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly.
Top the potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
