Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 0.33 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and rinse the potatoes. Chop them into large chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or fork until smooth.

Step 4

Add butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, followed by an even layer of bread crumbs.

Step 8

Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs to help them brown and become crispy.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a hearty side dish or snack.
