How to Make Bangin Mashed Potatoes

1. Place quartered russet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. While potatoes are still warm, return them to the pot and mash thoroughly using a hand masher or electric mixer.
6. Add softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until completely smooth and fluffy.
7. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 1-quart baking dish.
8. Dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
9. (Optional) Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
10. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden on top.
