Ingredients
- 1 lb Russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 cans light cream I use Nestle Media Crema Lite Cream - 7.6 oz each
- 1/16 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 6 Tbsp butter divided
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, gently add the potatoes and boil for 3-5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the topping. First, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Next, in a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then set aside.
- Then, drain the potatoes and set them aside.
- In a large skillet, pour 1 ½ cups of light cream. Then, add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and baking soda to the parmesan-panko mixture.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the skillet ingredients to a boil, then lower to the lowest setting and cook for 10 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently so that the cream doesn’t stick or burn.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- After cooking, remove the skillet from heat and add the remainder of the light cream and 3 tablespoons of butter cut into 6 pieces. Gently stir everything together until the butter has melted.
- Next, using 1 tablespoon of butter, grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch baking dish.
- Add the cream and potato mixture into your prepared baking dish and top with the panko topping.
- Bake it in the preheated oven on the middle oven rack for 20-25 minutes until it's bubbling, and the top is a nice golden-brown color. Note: You can also broil the dish for 1 minute to toast the top of the dish, but be careful not to burn it!
- Finally, serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Storage Info:
- Store Lighthouse Inn Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they'll stay good for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is possible, but note that the creamy texture may change slightly upon thawing. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 20 minutes. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Avoid microwaving as it can make the topping soggy and unevenly heat the dish.
