Twice baked mashed potatoes are a creamy, savory holiday side! Fluffy potatoes mixed with sour cream, cream cheese, and chives are topped with buttery breadcrumbs for the ultimate comfort food.
Add potatoes to a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, continue boiling until the potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain.
Mix panko with 1 tablespoon of butter and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Whisk milk, cream cheese, sour cream, the remaining 3 tablespoon butter, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Season with fresh pepper. Working in batches, push potatoes through a ricer into the same bowl. Add chives and stir until combined.
Scrape into an 8 x 8-in. baking dish, smoothing top.
Sprinkle with panko. Bake in centre of oven until top is golden and potatoes are warmed through, 10-12 min.
If panko hasn't browned enough, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
Notes
I like to use a potato ricer to make perfect, fluffy mashed potatoes. If you don't have one, simply mash the potatoes after you drain them. Then, once mashed, stir them into the cream cheese mixture.
