Note

The original ingredient list was incomplete. This recipe assumes standard additions for a mashed potato casserole: salt, pepper, 1 cup sour cream, 8 oz cream cheese, 1 chopped onion, melted butter, and paprika. Adjust quantities based on the size of the potatoes and desired creaminess.

This casserole can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For extra richness, add shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture before baking. For a vegan version, use vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and a plant-based sour cream substitute.
