Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season the potatoes.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes well and set aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling slightly, finely dice the yellow onion. In a small skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked potatoes using a potato masher or fork. Add the sautéed onion, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 6

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the potato mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes.

Step 8

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it over the top of the cheese for added richness.

Step 9

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the cottage potatoes from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and flavorful dish!
