Adding cream cheese and sour cream to "smashed" potatoes is something I do routinely. Baking them after they're done is not. I really was very pleased with the end result--they are really so much more attractive this way than simply plopping some mashed potates on a plate! I used full fat sour cream and cream cheese, and a good gob of butter as well. Threw in some chopped chives, baked them in a gratin dish, then garnished them with more chives and, yes, more butter. Beautiful presentation for the lowly mashed potato! If I had been more ambitious, I would have taken it a step further and piped the potatoes into the dish with a decorating tip. Next time...
