A new twist for mashed potatoes. I usually add a dash of onion and garlic powder. I also do a taste test prior to baking to see if they need more salt. Potatoes are combined with cream cheese, sour cream, chives, butter, and paprika...Delicious!!

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 to 10 medium potatoes
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz sour cream
1/2 c melted butter
1/4 c chopped chives
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp salt
dash(es) paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook, drain, and mash potatoes.
  • 2. Beat cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. Add potatoes and all remaining ingredients, and then beat until combined. Spoon into lightly buttered two-quart casserole, cover and refrigerate.
  • 3. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before baking. Uncover; sprinkle paprika on top (if desired). Bake uncovered at 350 degrees about 40 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and peel the potatoes, dice the onions, and chop the parsley.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the casserole. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked through but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and bland.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the casserole before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Irish potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender potatoes, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
