🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Fresh chives
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

2. Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.

3. Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

5. Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

6. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free.

7. Add the mascarpone cheese, unsalted butter, whole milk, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

8. Fold in the fresh chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.

9. Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

10. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.

11. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.

12. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

13. Garnish with the reserved chives and serve warm.
