Ingredients
- Deselect All
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (4 to 5 medium potatoes)
- Kosher salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded white American cheese (9 ounces)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease four 10-ounce ramekins with the butter and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season the water generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add the American cheese, stirring until melted. Remove from the heat.
- Drain the potatoes well and return to the pot. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until the excess water evaporates, about 1 minute. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving a few clumps of potato. Slowly pour in the milk and cheese mixture and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Divide the potatoes evenly between the prepared ramekins. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan. Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Garnish with the chives and serve.
