The Best Creamiest Baked Mashed Potatoes made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Peel, chop, and boil the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot over low heat for a minute to release steam.
  • Add butter to the potatoes and let it melt before mashing.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and sour cream, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy; avoid over-mashing to prevent gumminess.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and smooth the top.
