Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or similar ovenproof casserole.
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot over low heat to remove excess moisture, stirring gently for 1-2 minutes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or press them through a ricer for an ultra-smooth texture.
Mix in the butter, heavy cream, and egg yolks, stirring until fully incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Layer the remaining mashed potatoes over the cheese and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy topping.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving.
