Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheese (any variety you prefer)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until they are tender, which should take about 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
-
Mash the Potatoes: Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash them less thoroughly.
-
Incorporate the Add-Ins: Add the butter to the hot potatoes and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated. Mix in the sour cream, shredded cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Bake the Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the potato mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This potato dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses and will surely be a hit at your next barbeque or family meal.
