Prep Time

Ingredients 🥘

For this delightful dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 5 potatoes 🥔
• 1 package cream cheese (softened) 🧀
• 1 cup sour cream 🥄
• 1/2 cup butter (softened) 🧈
• 1 onion (finely chopped) 🧅
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated) 🧀
• Salt and pepper to taste 🧂

Instructions 📋

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥

2. Prepare the potatoes:

   • Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. This should take about 15-20 minutes. 🥔💧

3. Cream the ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, cream cheese, sour cream, and butter. Use a hand mixer or potato masher to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps! 🥣

4. Add the onions:

   • Stir in the finely chopped onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed. 🌰

5. Transfer to baking dish:

   • Lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking dish. Pour the mashed potato mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top. 🥄

6. Top with Parmesan cheese:

   • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes. This will create a delicious, cheesy crust when baked. 🧀✨

7. Bake:

   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The edges should be slightly crispy. 🕒🔥

8. Serve and enjoy:

   • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is perfect on its own or as a side to your favorite main course. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness! 😋🍽️

Tips and Tricks 🌟
