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