Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks of roughly equal size. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, begin mashing the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the potatoes. Whip the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until it is creamy and smooth.
Spoon the whipped potatoes into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by a light coating of Parmesan cheese.
Bake the potato dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top is slightly golden.
Remove the potato bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
