Ingredientes

• 9 large russet potatoes (5 to 6 pounds in total)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grab a 2-quart casserole dish, give it a little love with some non-stick spray or butter, and set it aside

2. 2

   Boil potatoes: Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Peel your potatoes and cut them in half to speed up cooking. Add your potatoes once boiling and cook them until they're fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Mash potatoes: Drain the potatoes well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese, onion salt, garlic powder, and minced chives. Mix until well combined and creamy.

4. 4

   Transfer mixture: Spoon your potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, creating a smooth top.

5. 5

   Top potatoes: n a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the dry bread crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of your potatoes

6. 6

   Bake for 40-50 minutes. Target a golden brown top and bubbly edges.

7. 7

   Melt cheese: Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese over the top. The heat from the potatoes will melt the cheese.

8. 8

   Garnish with additional minced chives. Serve it up hot!
