Calories: 300kcal
Ingredients
- 8 cups potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, then drain potatoes.
- Add butter and mash potatoes with a potato masher or in a mixer. Add milk until mashed potato consistency is reached. Mix in cream cheese and sour cream until cream cheese is all melted. For ease, you can do this with a stand-mixer. Add salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. If potatoes are too thick, add 1 Tbsp. of milk or sour cream at a time.
- Transfer potatoes to a 2 quart casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly, melted and potatoes are thoroughly heated to 165°F.
Notes
If potatoes are too thick, add 1 Tbsp. of milk or sour cream at a time.
Cover with foil if cheese is browning too quickly.
Garnish with green onions or bacon bits if desired.
