Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 5

Add the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to the pot.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix well to coat the breadcrumbs evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet and savory baked mashed potatoes!
