Ingredients

  • 1 kg potatoes peeled and chopped (I used Sebago)
  • 110 g cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream I used light
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt or to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives garnish (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 180c.
  2. Add potatoes to a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
  3. Simmer until potatoes are just fork tender then drain well.
  4. Allow potatoes to steam dry for a few minutes then mash or rice the potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add cream cheese to potatoes and mix to combine.
  6. Add remaining ingredients (except for milk and cheddar cheese) and stir to combine, adjusting salt to taste as needed.
  7. Gradually add milk until you reach the consistency you want.
  8. Quickly add half of the grated cheddar cheese and mix lightly to combine.
  9. Spoon mashed potato mixture into the casserole dish, sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese then bake for 30 minutes or until golden and heated through.
  10. Garnish with finely chopped chives (if using) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Please note that nutritional information is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • I used sebago potatoes (brushed potatoes) that are sold loose in most Australian supermarkets.
  • Chop your potatoes into even sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Letting the drained potato steam dry for a few minutes helps to dry out any excess water remaining on the potato which leads to a wet mash.
  • When adding your milk, add it gradually until you reach the creamy texture you are looking for.
  • No chives? Substitute finely chopped parsley or finely sliced green onions (shallots).
