Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix well to coat the breadcrumbs evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet and savory baked mashed potatoes!
