Ingredients
- 6 cups prepared mashed potatoes OR 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened, reduced fat is okay
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese, divided
- ½ cup sour cream reduced fat is okay
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (omit if using prepared garlic mashed potatoes)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- If using prepared mashed potatoes, move ahead to step 3. If using russet potatoes, place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are very tender, drain the pot. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and mash until smooth.
- Combine potatoes with cream cheese, sour cream, half cup shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper and mash/mix everything til combined and smooth.
- Spoon potatoes into prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.
- Cover the baking dish and cook for 35-40 minutes. Switch to BROIL for 3-5 minutes longer (watch closely so the cheese doesn't burn). Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes
- Be cautious not to over-mix your potatoes, this will lead to gluey potatoes.
