How to Make Snowy Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and chop 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes are boiling, prepare the creamy mixture: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly. Add the potatoes to the creamy mixture a few at a time, using a potato masher or electric mixer to create a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mashed potatoes into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- (Optional) Add your favorite topping, such as shredded cheese, bread crumbs, or crispy bacon bits.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
- If making ahead, cool completely before covering and refrigerating. Reheat gently before serving.
