Recipe Notes
- You could use russet potatoes for this casserole recipe, but Yukon gold potatoes do have a special buttery flavor that adds a lot to the dish.
- The recipe calls for peeling the potatoes, but if you like the peel, leave it on.
- You could use other cheeses instead of cheddar like Gruyere, Swiss, Monterey Jack or provolone.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
Here's how to make it:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water in a large pot until just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Over low heat, cook out the excess water.
- Add the butter, sour cream and milk. Over low heat, mash the potatoes until desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the potatoes into a shallow casserole dish. Top with the cheese. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven until cheese has melted, about 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh chives, if desired.
