Mashed Potato Casserole Ingredients

Yukon Gold Potatoes: These potatoes are often considered the best for mashed potatoes due to their naturally creamy texture and buttery flavor.
Cold water
Salted butter
Sour cream
Whole milk
Garlic powder
Ground white pepper: You can use ground black pepper in place of the ground white pepper if you prefer.
Salt
Chives
Bacon
Shredded cheddar cheese

Pick Your Potatoes: I like to use Yukon Gold potatoes in this recipe, but you can use any potatoes you prefer. I have used russet potatoes and red potatoes in this recipe and they turned out great.
Tasty Toppings: This casserole can be topped with almost anything you would put on a baked potato. My favorite toppings include extra sour cream, bacon, chives, french fried onions, minced garlic, and cream cheese.

Prepare The Potatoes: Cover the potatoes with cold water, stir in the salt, and bring the water to boil. Cook for 18-22 minutes or when you can easily pierce with a fork.
Make The Potato Mixture: Drain the potatoes and mix with butter, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Beat in the sour cream, milk, and cheddar cheese until no lumps remain.
Bake: Add the potato mixture to the baking dish (Image 1) and top with cheddar cheese (Image 2). Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted (Image 3).
Sprinkle And Serve: Sprinkle bacon and chives on top (Image 4) and serve. Enjoy!
