Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.
Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or handheld mixer.
Add the sour cream, softened cream cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, then transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Smooth out the potato mixture in the dish, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
If desired, sprinkle paprika over the cheese for added color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
