Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 large Russet potatoes
- 8 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them back to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.
Mix in the butter, heavy cream, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Spread half of the mashed potato mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the layer, then spread the remaining mashed potatoes on top.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese with the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix well to create the topping.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the mashed potatoes in the casserole dish.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
