Basic Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and chop the russet potatoes into equally sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  3. Mash the drained potatoes until smooth and mix in the butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Fold in chopped green onions.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. If desired, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chopping potatoes into uniform pieces helps cook them evenly. For a smoother texture, mash while warm and use room-temperature sour cream for creaminess.
