Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks and place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the cheddar cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
