Scrub the russet potatoes and slice them into half-inch pieces, leaving the skin on.

Place the sliced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and cover until cooked.

Thinly slice the onions and melt butter in a skillet over low heat.

Add the onions to the skillet and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, adding salt to help draw out moisture.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let the steam escape.

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some lumps for texture.

Add room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, hot whole milk, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Add half of the monterey jack cheese to the potato mixture and mash again to combine.

Finish caramelizing the onions and then add Worcestershire sauce and chopped garlic, stirring to combine.

Fold the caramelized onion mixture into the mashed potatoes until well combined.

Transfer the potato mixture into a casserole dish and spread evenly.
