Ultimate Baked Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium onion, grated
• 1 large egg
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them completely with salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, approximately 20 minutes.
3. Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and milk, then mash until well combined. Incorporate the cream cheese and onion, and use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg. Temper the egg by adding one spoonful of the hot mashed potatoes to the bowl, whisking constantly to prevent it from scrambling. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the bowl with the remaining potatoes and stir gently to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are puffy and beautifully golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
