How to Make Holiday Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish and set aside.
  3. Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes, 1 lb sweet potatoes (yams), and 1/2 medium yellow onion into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  4. Place potatoes, yams, and onion in a large pot. Cover with cold salted water (about 2 inches above the vegetables). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes and yams are easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Drain the potatoes, yams, and onion thoroughly.
  6. Return the cooked vegetables to the pot. Remove from heat.
  7. Add 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 2 oz goat cheese (crumbled), 4 tbsp butter (melted), and 1/2 cup milk.
  8. Mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Stir the egg mixture into the mashed potato mixture.
  11. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  12. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives.
  13. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
