Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 6 stalks Green onions
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or olive oil.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped green onions, and 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
