List of Ingredients



• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing baking dish
  
• 3 pounds russet potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  
• 2 (5-ounce) packages Boursin cheese spread
  
• 1/2 cup milk
  
• 3/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp pepper
  
• 3 Tbsp plain bread crumbs
  
• 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350° F. Butter 8-inch square baking dish.
   
   
2. Place potatoes in large pot and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring potatoes to boil over high heat, then lower heat to maintain gentle simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, wipe pot dry, put potatoes back into pot, and mash with cheese spread, milk, and 3 tablespoons butter until smooth. Stir in salt and pepper. Spoon potatoes into prepared pan.
   
   
3. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter and toss with bread crumbs and Parmesan in small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over casserole. Bake until casserole is very hot and top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
