Mashed Potato Gratin
Everyone seems to have a Potato Gratin recipe in their family, and this is my family's, with the hallmark Italian flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese.

Unsalted butter for greasing casserole
2 1/2 cups Progresso® chicken broth
4 large russet potatoes, peeled, diced (5 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup Progresso® Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter 2-quart casserole. Pour broth into 2-quart saucepan. Add potatoes; stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Place colander over medium bowl; drain potatoes, reserving broth.

Rinse and dry saucepan. Cook 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic in saucepan over low heat 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Return potatoes to saucepan with butter and garlic; mash with potato masher.

Add 1 cup of the reserved broth to potatoes; mix until smooth. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon potato mixture into casserole. Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

9 servings (1/2 cup each)
