Preparation

Step 1

Butter 6- to 8-cup ovenproof dish. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to same pot.

Add cream cheese and mash well. Mix in sour cream and milk, then chives. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Spoon potatoes into prepared dish; dot with chilled butter. (Can be made 2 hours ahead; let stand at room temperature.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes until heated through and beginning to brown on top, about 30 minutes.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

These rich and creamy mashed potatoes (thanks to sour cream and cream cheese) can be prepared ahead of time.
