This recipe, in particular, is far more decadent than your standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mashed potatoes<\/a>, thanks to two rich ingredients: sour cream and cream cheese. The step that makes it a casserole and not just a pan of mashed potatoes is that of drizzling it with butter, sprinkling it with paprika and baking it until the top crisps up slightly. The result is an indulgent, simple side dish that&#8217;s far from basic.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Mashed Potato Casserole<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2055801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mashed-Potato-Casserole_TOHD24_31517_SoniaBozzo_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients To Make Mashed Potato Casserole\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Potatoes:\u00a0<\/strong>Not all potatoes are created equal, make sure to choose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-types-of-potatoes-are-best-for-which-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-types-of-potatoes-are-best-for-which-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best type of potato<\/a> for the cooking method in your recipe. In the case of mashed potatoes, Russets are a great option because of their starchy texture, which makes them ideal for yielding fluffy mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese and sour cream: <\/strong>Both of these ingredients add fat to make a rich tasting mash, and whereas just adding milk or cream can make your mixture runny, they&#8217;re lower in moisture so they&#8217;re not as likely to alter the texture of your potatoes. Bring both to room temperature before adding them to the potatoes for the best consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk: <\/strong>A splash of whole milk thins the mashed potato mixture slightly. To make this dish more decadent, swap out the whole milk for heavy whipping cream or half-and-half cream. If the mashed potato mixture is too dense, you can add a splash or two more milk to loosen the consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion: <\/strong>Adding a small onion, finely chopped, raw to the mashed potato mixture infuses it with onion flavor. If you only have large onions cut this quantity down to a half or even a quarter of an onion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic salt: <\/strong>Seasoning the mashed potato casserole with garlic salt adds a subtle garlic flavor without having bits of garlic in the mixture. If you don&#8217;t have it you can make it yourself by combining salt and garlic powder at a three-to-one ratio of salt to garlic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>A drizzle of butter on top of the casserole helps it brown and crisp in the oven. You can use salted or unsalted butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paprika: <\/strong>A sprinkle of paprika stains the top of this simple dish a light orange hue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the potato mixture<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2055802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mashed-Potato-Casserole_TOHD24_31517_SoniaBozzo_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Handmixer Beating Ingredients For Mashed Potato Casserole\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water.

To prevent this from occurring, mash the potato gently and consider using a food mill or a ricer to achieve the best texture. Check out our guide to making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/secrets-making-best-mashed-potatoes-ever\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/secrets-making-best-mashed-potatoes-ever\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best mashed potatoes<\/a> ever for more tips.<\/p>\n<h3>Why add sour cream to mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>The lactic acid in sour cream enhances the texture, flavor, and richness of mashed potatoes. Its tangy notes work in tandem with salt to help enliven an otherwise plain spud.<\/p>\n<h3>Is cream cheese or sour cream better in mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>Due to their high fat content, adding cream cheese and sour cream to mashed potatoes helps achieve the richest flavor without adding liquid, which can make mashed potato gummy. We recommend using both at once as we do in this mashed potatoes casserole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melted cream cheese and sour cream make this mashed potato casserole
