The genius of this recipe, besides its utter deliciousness, is that it can be made the day before, or even two. Cook the potatoes, assemble the casserole, wrap tightly and store it in the refrigerator. When dinnertime comes, dust it with the cheese, butter and bread crumbs and bake the whole thing off.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup chopped fresh chives (about 3 bunches)
1 tablespoon chilled butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • 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°F. Bake potatoes until heated through and beginning to brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. They'll mash up smooth and creamy.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a ricer, mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they're smooth.
  • Season the mashed potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Use a good quality cheese for the gratin. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the gratin a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly. You can use a box grater or a food processor to grate the cheese.
  • Layer the mashed potatoes, cheese, and chives in a baking dish. Make sure to press the layers down firmly so that the gratin holds together.
  • Bake the gratin in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  • Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato cheese and chive gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give this gratin a try. You won't be disappointed.
