Mashed Potato Casserole

This creamy mashed potato casserole with a buttery cheesy panko topping is a delicious casserole that pairs well with chicken, pork, and beef. 

Mashed Potato Casserole

I recently had a craving for meat & potatoes so I made some steaks, roasted tomatoes, and instead of my go-to potato side dish, I made this simple and delicious mashed potato casserole from a recipe I found on NY Times Cooking. The potatoes were creamy and delicious and we especially loved the crispy cheesy buttery panko crumbs on top.

How to Make a Mashed Potato Casserole

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 4-inch small baking dish with butter.

Prepare the potatoes by cooking them in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 15-20 minutes, depending on their size. Drain very well.

Use a hand masher to mash the potatoes with the sour cream and butter until very smooth and creamy.

Fold in the chives then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Spread potatoes evenly into the prepared small baking dish.

    I made this last night to go with a baked spiral cut ham and broccoli. We loved it! Mine seemed to have less topping than yours so next time, I’ll use 1/3 cup measures of the topping ingredients. Definitely a keeper!
