How to Make Crumb Topped Creamy Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  3. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  6. Return the potatoes to the saucepan.
  7. Add 1/2 cup warm milk (or cream for extra richness) and mash with a hand masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  9. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into a 2-quart greased casserole dish.
  10. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  11. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the potatoes are heated through.
