I can't resist these potatoes. They don't need any gravy & they are full of cheesy goodness. The crunchy top adds a perfect texture. They taste even better the next day.
Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes
8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
4 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Topping
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring large pot of water to boil. Meanwhile peal potatoes & rinse with cold water. Cut potatoes into quarters. Remove pot from burner & add potatoes, then return pot to burner & bring to a full boil. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until fork can be easily inserted into potatoes. Drain potatoes & return the pot. Put on the burner on low heat. Add butter & mash until all the lumps are out. Remove from burner. Add milk & using electric beaters beat on low speed until smooth & creamy. Stir in the cream cheese, cheddar, & Parmesan. Add the salt & pepper to taste. Put into a baking dish.
In microwave melt the remaining butter for the topping. Stir in the parsley, remaining cheeses, & Panko crumbs. Spread mixture evenly on top of potatoes
Bake for 20 minutes or until top is brown. Enjoy!
*This recipe also works great with instant potatoes.
Wow, I'm really hungry now! Can't wait to give these a try!
