Cheesy Mashed Potato Bake

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Make this complete casserole up to a day in advance cover tightly and refrigerate, when ready to bake just pop in the oven and bake for a little longer time than stated. Add in some green onions and cooked crumbled bacon id desired. Use only russet potatoes for this! Prep time includes cooking potatoes. This makes a wonderful side dish and all amounts can be adjusted to taste.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 7 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1/4 cup sour cream (can use more)
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened (low-fat is okay)
• 1/4 cup 18% table cream
• 1 1/4 cups old cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
• black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)

Directions:

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender (about 20 minutes) drain and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Add in sour cream, butter, softened cream cheese and cream; beat until smooth.
3. Add in shredded cheddar; mix to combine then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Transfer to a 2 or 3-quart casserole dish; sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
5. At this point you can cover and refrigerate or bake for about 20-22 minutes.

We were looking for a slightly decadent potato dish to go alongside a pork roast for a good friend's birthday dinner. This hit the spot. Would have been delicious even without the gravy we put on it. Thanks, Kittencal, for coming through once again!

I thought these were good. I only used 5 large potatoes and added onion, seasoning salt and garlic salt. I baked at 350 degrees for 20 min in a 9x13 dish.
