Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.

Step 4

Mash the sweet potatoes with 4 tablespoons of butter, milk, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese and bread crumb mixture. Stir to combine until the topping is evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
