How to cook deliciously - Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

1. Stage

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're very tender. Drain them well.

2. Stage

In a bowl, mash the potatoes. Editor's Tip: The best tool to mash potatoes is a handheld masher, a potato ricer or a fork. Resist the temptation to dump the cooked potatoes into a food processor or blender. Overmixing gives spuds a gooey, gluey texture.

3. Stage

Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, onion, egg, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Beat the potatoes until they're fluffy and well combined. Transfer everything to a greased 2-quart baking dish.

4. Stage

Cover and bake the potatoes at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they're heated through. Sprinkle additional cheese on top, if you'd like. Editor's Tip: To increase the gooey factor, sprinkle the baked mashed potatoes with cheese and then place them under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
