Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Salt
  • ½ cup Butter, melted
  • ½ cup Sour cream
  • ¼ cup Half and half
  • 2 teaspoons All Purpose Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place sliced potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; add salt and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Mash the potatoes and stir in the melted butter, sour cream, half and half and All Purpose Seasoning.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. At this point you can cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • When ready to bake, place baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are heated through.

Christina's Notes

  • Use Yukon Golds for Creaminess: Their naturally buttery texture and golden color make them ideal for rich, velvety mashed potatoes that hold up well to baking.
  • Salt the Water Generously: Seasoning the cooking water is your first and best chance to infuse flavor into the potatoes themselves — don’t skip it.
  • Mash While Hot: Warm potatoes absorb butter, sour cream, and half and half more easily, resulting in a smoother, fluffier mash.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Stir just until combined. Overworking the potatoes can make them gluey instead of light and fluffy.
  • Use a Ricer for Ultra-Smooth Texture: For the silkiest mash, use a potato ricer instead of a masher. It’s especially helpful when doubling the recipe.
  • Add a Topping for Texture: Sprinkle with shredded cheese, buttered breadcrumbs, or crushed crackers before baking for a golden, flavorful crust.
