Ingredients

9 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup sour cream
6 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
0.25 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes; cook until tender yet still firm, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

2

Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until smooth. Mix in sour cream, cream cheese, butter, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

3

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish lightly with oil or butter.

4

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
