Best mashed potato recipe with cream cheese and sour cream

This is probably the best mashed potato recipe with cream cheese and sour cream.

Quite a number of friends have never heard of combining both sour cream and cheese to make an excellent mashed potato dinner.

This is why I put together this succulent recipe which you’ll be pleased to try out on weekends. Find other recipes on this link.

The only downside to this recipe is that it takes time to cook.

It only takes about 20 minutes to prepare, but you need 1 hour and minutes cooking time.

So it is not something I would advise not to plan. That’s why I said it is a good dish for weekends.

At the end of the day, we have time over the week to cook and enjoy some of our passions.

Here is your sour and cheese cream mashed potatoes recipe.

Best mashed potato recipe with cream cheese and sour cream – The ingredients

Though it takes a substantial amount of time for preparing and cooking this recipe, you only need 6 ingredients.

• Potatoes – 2 kg or 9 large potatoes

• Sour cream – 1 cup is plenty. You can add more if you like really sour cream. But I like to keep things a bit healthy, so I put enough for a great taste and not for the fatty content. (1)

• Cream cheese –  An 8-ounce package. Same remark as sour cream. It is about taste and not quantity. (2)

• Green onions – 1/4 cup all minced 

• Butter – Just 2 tablespoons will be more than enough. Again if you like more, then just do it, but it is best to keep it simple.

• Salt – Minimize the quantity of salt to your taste and to avoid health issues. (3)

• Ground black pepper – A little bit. (4)

How to prepare sour cream and cheese mashed potatoes?

Step 1 – Let’s get the oven going as it does take some time before it is at the right temperature. Put the oven to 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees Celcius).

Step 2 – Grease your baking dish. Try to choose a good side glass type dish that can go in the oven. Say a 1 1/2-quart in size. This dish is quite common in the shops.

Step 3 – Prepare your mashed potatoes (click here to find out how to make mashed potatoes). Alternatively, just place your 2kg potatoes into a large pot. Add water and salt. Now cover your pot. Bring the water to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Wait till the potatoes are tender. It should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the lot.

And step 4 – Wait a bit till the potatoes are colder and remove the skin. The potatoes should peel easily. Now mash the peeled potatoes with a potato masher. If you do not have one, just use a fork. You are done when you get a nice and smooth pure.

Step 5 – Add the cream cheese and stir.

Now onto step 6 – Add the sour cream and stir again.

Step 7 – Add the butter, green onions, salt, and pepper. Stir yet again.

Step 8 – Pour you mashed potatoes into your baking dish. Make sure it is smooth, leveled and nice looking.

Step 9 – Put your dish in the oven to bake. Wait until the dish gets golden and bubbly. You should need to wait for about 1  hour to 1 and 1/2 hours

Step 10 – Serve your dish and enjoy.

Below are two ways you can present your dish. I really like the second one and my guests love it.

You just need small glass dishes instead of a large one.
