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
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and cube the potatoes into one-inch pieces.
- Boil the potato cubes in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic powder, then gradually whisk in the heavy cream until it thickens slightly (about three minutes). Add shredded cheddar and stir until melted.

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