Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Course: Side Dish

Ingredients
 

  • Leftover mashed potatoes, chilled
  • Sour cream, enough to loosen the potatoes
  • Fresh Parmesan flakes, enough for a light layer
  • Plain panko breadcrumbs, enough for a light layer

Equipment

  • Ovenproof baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Instant-read thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Break up any large lumps in the potatoes. Stir in a little sour cream at a time until the mash is easy to spread.
  3. Spread the potatoes in an even layer in an ovenproof baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the Parmesan flakes over the potatoes and add the panko on top.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the topping is golden and the potatoes reach 165°F (74°C) throughout.
  6. If the topping browns before the potatoes are hot, cover the dish loosely with foil and finish baking.
