Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 ounces Blue cheese, crumbled
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In the large bowl with the grated potatoes, pour in the melted butter and garlic mixture. Add the heavy cream, 2 ounces of crumbled blue cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, remaining 1 ounce of crumbled blue cheese, 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the potato mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
