Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for breadcrumbs)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add them to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
If using breadcrumbs, toss them with olive oil in a small bowl and sprinkle over the cheesy topping for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
