Cheesy mashed potato bake

Cheesy mashed potato bake is a flavorful, comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe combines creamy potatoes with rich Parmesan cheese, scallions, and a crispy breadcrumb topping. Follow these steps to create a delicious side dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
80g
1 cup scallions
50g
1/3 cup bread crumbs
30g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
a. Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
b. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt.
c. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. You can check for doneness by poking them with a fork; they should be easy to pierce.
3. Mash Potatoes:
a. Drain the cooked potatoes well and transfer them back into the pot.
b. Add the butter and milk to the potatoes.
c. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. If needed, you can add a bit more milk for a creamier consistency.
4. Add Cheese and Scallions:
a. Stir in the 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and finely chopped scallions into the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine evenly.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
a. Grease a baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
b. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly in the baking dish.
6. Prepare Topping:
a. In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese.
b. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.
7. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked and tender before mashing them to ensure a smooth texture.

- Use a potato masher or a ricer for best results; avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.

- Feel free to add other herbs or spices to the mashed potatoes for more flavor. Garlic, thyme, and black pepper work well.

- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumb mixture before baking.

- If you like a crispier top, you can place the dish under the broiler for the last few minutes of baking.

Your cheesy mashed potato bake is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot and savor the creamy, cheesy goodness with each bite. This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses and can be a star at any meal. Enjoy!
