Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
This recipe for garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes makes ordinary potatoes extraordinary because they’re baked with a cream sauce and plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese. These Parmesan mashed potatoes make a terrific dinner party dish that can be served with grilled steak or roasted chicken, but the recipe could also replace your tried-and-true preparation at your next holiday gathering. You can also use garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes to make your own version of Shepherd’s Pie by layering the potatoes and sauce over cooked ground beef and vegetables.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cook them in salted water until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add just enough milk to mash them into a dry purée. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Butter an ovenproof dish large enough to hold your mashed potatoes with room to spare. Add the mashed potatoes and smooth the top. Heat the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce and spread in a thin layer over the potatoes. Sprinkle the top generously with Parmigiano Reggiano.
  4. Bake the potatoes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is turning golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
