Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.
Mash the sweet potatoes with 4 tablespoons of butter, milk, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese and bread crumb mixture. Stir to combine until the topping is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the mashed sweet potatoes.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
