📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place peeled and chunked russet potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and cook for about ⏱️ 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain well and return to the hot pot to dry slightly.

While potatoes cook, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 3-quart casserole dish. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar. Mix well and set aside the remaining ½ cup cheddar for topping.

Add about half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes. Gently fold in with a spatula until mostly incorporated. Add the remaining cheese mixture and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent gummy potatoes.

Transfer the cheesy potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
