Ingredients

• 5 large russet potatoes
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons scallions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes over medium-high heat for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and milk to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well-combined and creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the potato mixture and mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions, if desired, before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cheesy Party Potatoes!
