How to Make Awesome Mashed Potato Casserole
- Boil 3 lbs of peeled and quartered russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender but still firm (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry out any excess moisture.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter, 2/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives, 2 minced cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup of milk or cream for extra richness).
- Mash the potatoes until completely smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, electric mixer, or food processor.
- Pour the potato mixture into a lightly buttered 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
