Equipment
- Large pot (for boiling potatoes)
- Baking dish (about 8x8 inches)
- Potato masher or electric mixer
- Knife and cutting board
- Spatula for smoothing the mixture
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh chives finely chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the potatoes: Add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes to a large pot and fill with salted water. Add in the potatoes and broth or water, season lightly with salt, and bring to a boil. Cook everything for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Mash the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Add ingredients: Stir in sour cream, chives, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, mix in shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
- Transfer: Add the mashed potato mixture into a well-greased baking dish with olive oil. Level the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake: Grease your dish or baking tray baking — and stick the dish in the preheated oven. Set it to 20-25 minutes or until the top looks golden brown and crispy.
- To serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with more chives just before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt, or use low-fat sour cream.
If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, add more shredded cheddar or try a different cheese like mozzarella or Parmesan.
For extra texture, top the potato mixture with a layer of breadcrumbs before baking.
