Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Peel and rinse the potatoes. Chop them into large chunks for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Add butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, followed by an even layer of bread crumbs.
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs to help them brown and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a hearty side dish or snack.
