With five kinds of dairy these are definitely not of the “simple, classic” variety, but they are of the “what the heck are in these?! THIS IS AMAZING!” variety. And once they come out of the oven with that buttery crispy top, you’ll want to sit down at the table with the skillet in front of you and horde them all for yourself.

Dinner then Dessert TIPS I’ve made these potatoes twice in the last month and the second time I minced up about 5 cloves of garlic that I sauteed in the butter that gets mashed into the potatoes. Holy garlicky amazingness. YES! Make it once the normal way, make it a second time kicked up with garlic. Then hurry back here and tell me which one you loved more!

  1. Made this the other night with the chicken thigh osso bucco and there were delicious. Going to make them tonight with Julia Child’s Beef Bourginon.

  2. A question about this delicious looking potato dish. Does it do well if refrigerated for a few hours between assembling and baking or should it be baked right away? Thank you.

  3. Thank you so much for this recipe, I am going to make it and I just know that I will love it. Do you know what kind of wine would go well with this dish? 🙂

  4. These look incredible! I’ve always wanted a little crunch/crisp in my mashed potatoes and now I know how. Thanks Sabrina!
