How to Make Crumb Topped Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
- Return the potatoes to the saucepan.
- 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.
- Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
- Spoon the mashed potato mixture into a 2-quart greased casserole dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the potatoes are heated through.
