How to Make Vicki's Gourmet Potatoes

  1. Wash and peel 2 lbs of russet potatoes. Cut into 2-inch chunks.

  3. Drain potatoes thoroughly.
  4. Return potatoes to the pot. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (optional).
  5. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter.
  7. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  8. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
