How to Make Thanksgiving Mashed Potatoes Loaded
- Peel and quarter 3 pounds russet potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash until mostly smooth.
- Add 1 cup of warm milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped chives.
- Butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spoon the mashed potatoes into the dish, smoothing the top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-45 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe dish for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Stir before serving. Spoon into bowls and top with an extra pat of butter.
- Prepare extra copies of the recipe—someone will ask for it!
