Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 3

Place the potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer to achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 5

While the potatoes are still warm, stir in the butter, heavy cream, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the mashed potatoes and stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the potato mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 8

Spoon the cheesy mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired.

Step 12

Enjoy this fluffy, cheesy mashed potato puff bake as a delicious side dish!
