📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot. Cover completely with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a steady simmer and cook, uncovered, for about 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes, or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Drain all the water and return the potatoes to the hot pan for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Mash the potatoes right in the warm pan. Gradually add the softened cream cheese, the sour cream, and the cubed butter. Mash and stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined and the potatoes are getting smooth. Finally, stir in the milk, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Keep mixing until the potatoes are creamy and have the consistency you like. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Grease a 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Carefully transfer your mashed potato mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out into an even layer. If you are using the optional toppings, sprinkle them on now. Cover the dish and refrigerate it for up to two days.

When you are ready to serve, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C). Take the dish of potatoes out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter while the oven heats up. Bake the dish, still covered, for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Then, uncover the dish and bake for another ⏱️ 10 minutes, allowing the top to get slightly golden and bubbly. For a final touch, sprinkle with fresh green onions just before serving.
