Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 pounds white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, cream cheese, and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
Season the fish fillets with the remaining salt and a dash of black pepper. Arrange the fish in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly on top of the fish, ensuring the fish is fully covered.
Step 6
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, followed by an even layer of breadcrumbs.
Step 7
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting and cheesy dish!
