Get Ready
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 375˚ F, and preheat lid closed for 15 minutes.

- Drain and add cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, butter, egg, salt, pepper, and chives.
- Mash.

Notes
To make ahead, cover and refrigerate up to two days. Remove at least 30 minutes then uncover before baking.
If cooking during the winter months on a Traeger, I would bump the temperature to 400˚.
