Ingredients
To Boil The Potatoes
- 12 medium Yellow Waxy Potatoes Peeled & Large Dice
- 1 sprig Rosemary
- 1 Shallot Peeled & Sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic Peeled & Quartered
- 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
For the Mashed Potato Recipe
- 8 oz Whipped Cream Cheese
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- ¼ cup Butter Unsalted
- 2 large Eggs Lightly Beaten
- ½ cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Instructions
To Boil the Potatoes
- In a pan, add all the ingredients to boil the potatoes. Fill the pot with hot water to 1" above the potatoes. Place the pot over high heat on the stove and bring to a low boil.
- After the potatoes have come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium. Allow to cook for about 13 minutes or until fork tender. Strain the water and remove the rosemary stalk. Add the potato mixture to a large mixing bowl.
For the Baked Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Before starting else, add the eggs and milk to a small bowl. Beat lightly with a fork until completely mixed together. Take out an electric hand mixer that we will need. Also, coat your baking dish with a thin layer of butter so the potatoes won't stick.
- In the bowl where the potatoes are, add in the whipped cream cheese, butter and sour cream. Mix with the electric hand mixer on low speed until the potatoes are broken up and all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Add in the egg mixture, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Mix on low speed until the eggs are absorbed. Increase the speed to high and mix for about 1 minute.
- Pour the potato mixture into the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes. For the last minute or two, turn on the broiler to toast the top. Remove from the oven and serve hot!
Notes
Remember that this is a souffle, which means that the potatoes will only stay puffy for so long! They will still taste delicious, but won't have the "wow" factor after about 10 minutes.
Want some creative toppings? Try some fresh chives or some chopped up cooked bacon bits. I've also made these with some shredded cheddar in the mix which was absolutely delicious.
