Cheesiest, Richest Mashed Potatoes

These mashed potatoes are creamy and rich, blending russet potatoes with butter, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, and warmed milk for a velvety texture. A touch of black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg add subtle seasoning. The mashed potatoes are finished in the oven with butter dotted on top, creating lightly browned peaks that provide a delicate crust contrasting the smooth interior.
