A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, enhanced with rich flavors and a creamy texture.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender.
Test the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Mash them over low heat.
Mashing the potatoes while they're hot makes them smoother.
Add the butter, cream cheese, and half-and-half to the potatoes. Mix until creamy.
Adjust the amount of half-and-half to achieve your desired consistency.
Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Taste as you go to ensure the seasoning is just right.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish. Dot with additional butter if desired.
Adding butter on top creates a golden crust when baked.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes until heated through.
Cover the dish with foil to prevent drying out, or leave uncovered for a crispy top.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm as a side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
