This dish may be assembled and refrigerate for up to 2 days in advance and will save you time and oven space for your holiday dinner but don’t wait until the holidays to make this, this makes a ton but the leftover potatoes may be frozen in small plastic containers, when ready to use just just thaw in microwave

Servings 10-12

INGREDIENTS:

12-15 medium russet potatoes, peeled (do not slice the potatoes, leave whole)

4 ounces cream cheese, cubed

1/3 cup sour cream

1/2 cup butter (cut into cubes, can use more if desired)

2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:—————————————————

Grease a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish.

Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon white vinegar until just fork-tender (do not cook the potatoes until very soft just until a fork goes easily into the potatoes all the way) drain and place in a large bowl.

Using an electric mixer beat the hot potatoes until just semi smooth and still a little chunky (I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this).

Add in cream cheese, sour cream, butter,  salt and black pepper. continue beating until combined and smooth.

Spread the mixture into prepared baking dish.

If desired you may sprinkle the top lightly with paprika, then allow to come down to room temperature.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 24-48 hours (the potatoes must be completely cooled before covering).

When ready to bake.

Bake uncovered for in a preheated 350 degree F oven about 25-30 minutes or hot.

If desired sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to oven to melt (about 3 minutes).

    I love these potatoes! I just made them for Thanksgiving and put them in the fridge. They are a great timesaver and people LOVE them. I put them in the crockpot before serving as I only have 1 oven and the crockpot is a perfect way to reheat them. I used an 8 ounce cream cheese because that is the serving size the cream cheese came in, but the potatoes aren’t affected by the extra 2 ounces – it only makes them better!! Thank you Kitten!
