Mashed potatoes with a fresh touch. I frequently sprinkle on a little onion and garlic powder. Prior to baking, I also taste test them to determine whether they require more salt. Cream cheese, sour cream, chives, butter, and paprika are blended with potatoes to make a delicious dish.

The basic recipe is really good but lends itself to creativity & unique alternative methods. I prefer cut the potatoes in to larger chunks, then boil just to when you can peirce them and they cling to the fork. I blend the sour cream and cream cheese (onion & chive variety), quarter 1/4 cup butter and add the butter to the potatoes while hot, then fold the cream cheese/sour cream into the potato chunks. I bake as directed but in the last 10 minutes cover the potatoes with grated Irish cheddar & a bit more chives. So delicious & hearty! We garnish with bacon bits.
My sister made this many years ago for Thanksgiving and it’s a staple ever since for the holidays. My grown kids always request “Aunt Karen’s mashed potatoes” We sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. It’s delicious.
It was a little time consuming making this dish but the comments were UNBELIEVABLE!! Very good, worth the effort.
My family couldn’t get enough of these potatoes. I was told to make these EVERY time mashed potatoes are on the menu.
My first time making a mashed potato-like dish! This casserole is delicious and extremely buttery, and it actually tastes just as good the next day. I used smoked paprika instead of regular and added a dash of garlic powder. Next time, I might halve the butter and perhaps bake for an extra 10 minutes.
Made just as written and everyone loved it. Will now be the way I make mashed potatoes all the time.
Very good & easy to make. I made exactly as the recipe stated, and then just added shredded cheese on top before baking. This would be nice to bring to a potluck.
I don’t cook much, but I made this for Thanksgiving, and my family absolutely LOVED it! My sister said I should bring this for all our family feasts. If you just follow the directions, you’ll have a great potato dish.
I’ve made this several times, so good. My sons ask for it all the time. I accidentally peeled the potatoes first then boiled them once and i couldn’t tell the difference.
Made it for our office St. Patrick’s Day potluck and it was a HIT!!! I used 12 potatoes vs 8 and didn’t increase most of the other ingredients — except the sour cream for moisture. I mixed the chives throughout the potatoes and sprinkled some extra on top with the paprika. It was the only dish on table that was scraped clean!!
My daughter loved it! It would be a really good option for leftover mashed potatoes. Half the prep would be done already.
Absolutely positively delicious!!!!! Added some garlic powder and onion powder into the mashed potatoes together with the chives! The only thing I did was cut the butter and cream cheese in half! Everyone loved it! Thank you for this recipe!
this dish was amazing! it was very creamy and was about as easy as making any homemade mashed potatoes. the only difference I made was I topped it with about 2 cups of shredded cheese. but my family loves a lot of cheese. this would have been good with our without the shredded cheese.
i changed butter to coconut oil and salt to himalayian pink salt also i used nut milk it doesnt matter which kind but i used it instead or cow milk when making the mash potaotes first then i proceeded to follow the rest of the recipe in making the casserole. i made it for a small group and everyone enjoyed it. i did a very good job on it since i dont really cook. i live a lone and so i cook for 1..
Great taste! I think I may caramelize some onions into it next time.
These are the only mashed potatoes my husband will eat. He insists that all mashed potatoes need gravy, until he tried these. I made no changes and will be making this again.
Riced the potatoes after baking them first. Faster prep for the potatoes, no extra moisture from boiling. No need to whip potatoes when you rice them.
will never make mashed potatoes any other way anymore. So good. I didnt change the recipe at all. Didnt need to.
Great recipe. Only used 4 oz cream cheese based on other reviews and added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.
I’ve made this to the exact given recipe, but added cheese. very tasty!
This is my first time making this dish and it came out so delicious… I didn’t change a thing, the only thing I didn’t do was mash the potatoes, I left them a little clumpy like a potato salad giving it texture. I wouldn’t change a thing
