DECADENT MASHED POTATOES



Decadent Mashed Potatoes image

When the potatoes are finished cooking, immediately drain and mash them while hot. Have your cream and butter heated and ready to add in right then. A few lumps are OK. If you overstir or let the potatoes cool before mashing, they'll be gluey.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h34m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 russet potatoes (approx 5 inches in length)
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 -3 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 green onion, including tops thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 roasted garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, sweet
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, sweet
1 tablespoon green onion top, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes. Spray pan and potatoes with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350 degrees until done (approx 40 minutes).
  • Let potatoes cool enough to handle. Slice in half lengthwise. Spoon out the inside of the potatoes into a bowl; leaving a shallow amount in the shells. Place shells back into pan.
  • Add cream cheese, butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of the milk and all spices into the bowl with the potato insides. Stir until blended & fluffy, but not overworked. Adjust with additional tablespoons of milk if needed. The result should be creamy, but still scoop able.
  • Spoon into the potato shells. Cover and chill at this point if making for a later meal. They can also be frozen at this point.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are hot & lightly browned. If working with chilled potatoes made earlier in the day add 10-15 minutes cooking time. The potatoes can also be baked directly from frozen by adjusting the cooking time.
  • Optional garnish: After removing from oven sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika & the green onion tops for color.
