Ingredients:

For the Mashed Potato Filling:

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 tablespoons infused butter (10mg per ½ tablespoon)

• 3 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, boiled and peeled

• 1 1/4 cups sour cream

• 1/4 cup whole milk

• 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

• 4 tablespoons finely chopped chives

• Cooking spray or softened butter to grease the pan

For the Topping:

• 3/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs

• 2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

• 3 tablespoons softened butter

• Chives to top

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:

• Food Processor

• Casserole Dish

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter (or spray) and set it aside.

1. Boil whole potatoes until a knife can easily pierce through, approximately 30 minutes. Let them cool and then peel.

2. Mash or rice the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the softened butter, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Add chives and finish mixing. Potatoes will be thick; add up to 1/4 cup of milk to achieve the desired consistency.

3. Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.

4. When ready to serve, in a small bowl, combine the softened butter, Parmigiano Reggiano, and breadcrumbs. Mix until it forms a crumble. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top of the mashed potato casserole in the baking dish.

5. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are heated through.

6. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives.
