Baked Mashed Potatoes
Today we are featuring our chosen potato side dish for Thanksgiving, Mashed Potatoes with Sun Dried Tomatoes. I have to say I loved these!! Mr W, not as much.
He is a classic, simple man when it comes to food. He prefers my creamy mashed potatoes over any alternative. He ate them, but said he liked the ‘regular ones’ better.
These really are a show stopper. These have been served at dinner parties as a side to many beef, pork and chicken dishes.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Baked Mashed Potatoes with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1 cup whole milk, or half milk and half half & half for a richer flavor
- 1 cup (4 ounces) parmesan cheese, grated and divided
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped (about 7 ounces from an 8-ounce jar)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Chopped parsley, basil, or chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or spray.
- Cook the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of liberally salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Mash the Potatoes: Return potatoes to the pot. Add milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Mix-Ins: Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and 3/4 cup parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer mashed potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
- Bake and Finish: Bake uncovered for 20–22 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. For extra browning, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
