Ingredients

• 3 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Smoked gouda cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded Gouda cheese until evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Gouda cheese over the top.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, if using, before serving.
