Ingredients

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.75 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Fresh chopped chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 2

Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 4

Add the butter, heavy cream, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or use a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1.5 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 0.25 cups of grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Reserve the remaining cheddar and Parmesan for the topping.

Step 6

Transfer the mashed potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, the remaining cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the breadcrumbs are moistened and the cheese is evenly mixed.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes in the casserole dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.
