Mashed Potato Casserole: A creamy and cheesy casserole made with russet or Yukon gold potatoes, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Topped with optional breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and crispy fried onions for extra texture and flavor, this dish is perfect for any family dinner or holiday gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, plus extra for greasing the baking dish
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
  • Cook Potatoes: Boil the potato chunks in salted water until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well.
  • Mash Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Assemble Casserole: Spread the mashed potatoes evenly in the greased baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, if using.
  • Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and crispy fried onions over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Garnish with additional green onions before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheeses.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
