Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add a large handful of salt (water should taste briny, like the ocean) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender but not crumbly, 30-40 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to warm pot to dry (off heat).
- Meanwhile, heat 2/3 cup cream and 2/3 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium until just about to simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to add to potatoes.
- Pass hot potatoes and butter through ricer into a large bowl (this will help combine them quickly; most of the skins should stay behind but pick out any small pieces that get through if you want); season generously with salt. Mix with a potato masher until butter is melted and combined.
- Mixing constantly, gradually add warm cream mixture to potatoes, then mix in sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Do Ahead
- Potatoes can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. To serve, transfer potatoes to a small pot and add 1/3 cup heavy cream and 1/3 cup whole milk; reheat over medium-low, stirring often to prevent scorching.
Tips:
- Use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy and fluffy texture.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
- Add a generous amount of butter to the potatoes for a decadent flavor.
- Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper.
- For a cheesy casserole, add grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the potatoes.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed potato chips before baking.
- Make sure to bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Make-ahead mashed potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or weeknight dinners. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
