Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 tbsp Butter, unsalted
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Peel and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place them into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and milk to the mashed potatoes while they are still warm. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
