Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, and milk to the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Stir in the garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix in 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheddar cheese layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
