Creamy Baked Mashed Potatoes
These creamy mashed potatoes are seasoned with garlic, onion, and thyme, and filled with melting white cheddar. A topping of the same melted cheese sets them off to perfection!
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and halved
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups shredded white cheddar, plus 1 cup for topping
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- Fresh chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer the potatoes until cooked and tender, about 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pot.
- To the potatoes, add the butter, sour cream, milk, and white cheddar, and mash over a low heat.
- Once smooth and creamy, add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
- Combine well; taste and adjust accordingly. Spoon the mashed potatoes into a greased 9x13-inch oven proof dish.
- Top with the white cheddar and cover in foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, remove foil and continue baking for 15 minutes - or until cheese is golden.
- Serve warm, topped with chopped chives.
