Oven-Baked Creamy Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes and move them to a large bowl. Add the butter and milk, and mash to combine. Add the cream cheese and onion; beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

  4. 4

    Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Add one spoonful of the hot potatoes, whisking quickly to keep the egg from scrambling. Pour the mixture back into the bowl and stir to combine with the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and golden brown, about 1 hour.
