  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and cube the potatoes into one-inch pieces.
  2. Boil the potato cubes in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.

  5. Mix breadcrumbs and parsley in a bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the potato mixture.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
