Ingredients

• 3 lbs Russet potatoes
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.

Step 5

Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and milk to the mashed potatoes. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons of each for the topping.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Top the potatoes with the reserved sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives before serving.
