Steps:
- Generously butter a 4-quart baking dish. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the shallots until they are slightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back in the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in the other ingredients. Turn off the heat and add 1 1/2 sticks butter, the cream cheese, heavy cream, seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mash to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread three-quarters of the shallots in the bottom of the baking dish. Scoop the mashed potatoes on top and spread them over the shallots. Sprinkle the remaining shallots on top of the potatoes.
- Cut the remaining 1/2 stick butter into pieces and sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- The potatoes can be made a day ahead through the end of step 4; cover and refrigerate. Before serving, dot with butter and bake for an hour.

CARAMELIZED-SHALLOT MASHED POTATOES
I got this recipe from this month's Bon Appetit Magazine (March 2008). This simple recipe only calls for 4 ingredients and has the unusual step of caramelizing the shallots for added sweetness and depth! Ingredient Tip: Yukon Gold potatoes are used in place of the more traditional russets because they mash up nutty, creamy, and almost buttery. If you want, you can certainly use russets.

Tips:
- Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and creamy.
- Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt will help to flavor the potatoes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will prevent them from being watery.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato ricer or a food mill to get the smoothest results.
- Add the milk and butter gradually: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming gluey.
- Season the potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your liking.
- Keep the potatoes warm until serving: Cover the potatoes with a lid or foil to keep them warm until you're ready to serve them.
