These creamy tasty potatoes can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to pop them in the oven (I often do that). The garlic powder and chives add zip, and the shredded cheese adds color. -Sharon Mensing, Greenfield, Iowa

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by at least 1 inch. Add a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan and stirring so the potatoes don't stick, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the potatoes are floury and have formed a film on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and break up the potatoes with a handheld mixer on low speed. Gradually drop in 6 tablespoons of the butter and beat until it is absorbed. Refrigerate the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Gradually add the cream cheese and sour cream, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk a little at a time. You want the potatoes to be fluffy and light. If they seem to be getting too wet, don't add all the milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (If you don't have an electric mixer, use a hand masher to start and then use a wooden spoon to beat in the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Beat the milk into the potatoes one third at a time, beating vigorously after each addition.)
- Butter a 9-x-13-inch baking dish and spoon the potatoes into it. Smooth the top, then use a spatula or fork to swirl or score the surface to leave little peaks that will brown nicely during baking. Refrigerate, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Dust the top of the potatoes with paprika. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top. Bake until the potatoes are heated through and the top is lightly golden, about 1 hour. (Expect it to take only half the time if the potatoes haven't been refrigerated.) Serve hot.

PARTY POTATOES
Grandpa Karsky was the grandfather of my daugter's now ex-fiance and from what I hear he was a great cook and a wonderful guy. He passed away before we met the family. It's too bad his grandson didn't follow in his footsteps in being a wonderful guy! :-) This is another Grandpa Karsky recipe and it is creamy and delicious. Not your ordinary potato recipe. The recipe says to refrigerate overnight, which of course you can do, but you can also bake it right away for around 20 - 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Because it can sit overnight it makes it a great recipe for any party because it's already made and you just pop it in the oven! Grandpa Karsky was aparently famous for shortening recipe instructions so I have embelshed this one a bit. Also, sometimes the potatoes are too dry for my tatstes so I've added some milk or some extra sour cream to make them creamier. I have also sprinkled cheese and/or bacon during the last 10 minutes of baking.

- Prep Your Potatoes Properly: Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into even-sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your potatoes liberally. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile.
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for roasting potatoes. It adds a rich flavor and helps them crisp up nicely.
- Roast at a High Temperature: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F or higher) will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Toss the Potatoes During Cooking: To ensure even cooking and browning, toss the potatoes every 15-20 minutes.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will prevent them from cooking evenly.
