Ingredients

• 5 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.

Step 3

Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or handheld mixer.

Step 5

Add the sour cream, softened cream cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 6

Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, then transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Smooth out the potato mixture in the dish, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle paprika over the cheese for added color.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
