Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil or nonstick spray.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. If needed, adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper.
Fold in the sharp cheddar cheese until fully incorporated. Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and olive oil until combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes.
Bake 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 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
