Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small, even cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.

Step 3

Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.

Step 5

Add sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Stir the mixture into the potato mixture to help it bind together.

Step 7

Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently to create an even layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Golden Potato Squares!
