Cheesy Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Warm and comforting, this cheesy side dish is the perfect accompaniment to almost any main course and pairs well with our HāLo Cabernet Sauvignon.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 5 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1/2 Tbsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- chives, chopped parsley, or bacon crumbles (optional)
Procedure
- 1Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a large baking dish (9×13-in or similar) with 2 tablespoons of butter and set aside.
- 2Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until just covered. Bring potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat to a low boil and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- 3Drain potatoes and place them into a large bowl. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until all potatoes are broken up but not creamy.
- 4Add in the remaining butter, 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and egg to the potatoes. Using a hand mixer, beat the potatoes until all the ingredients are combined and potatoes are creamy.
- 5Spread potatoes into the prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until heated through and cheese topping is melted.
- 6Garnish with chives, parsley, or bacon if desired. Enjoy with Trefethen HāLo.
