Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender. (15-20 minutes)

03

Step

Drain potatoes in a colander for 5-10 minutes to remove excess moisture. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until smooth. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese, mixing until well combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Incorporate cayenne pepper, 3/4 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, mashing until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. (3 minutes)

06

Step

In a metal bowl, whisk cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. (1-2 minutes)

07

Step

Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the mashed potatoes using a spatula, being careful not to overmix and deflate the cream. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream, preserving as much volume as possible. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Transfer the mixture to a buttered casserole dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a light dusting of cayenne pepper. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly. (15-20 minutes)

10

Step

Remove from oven, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting a few cloves of garlic with the potatoes.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Be gentle when folding in the whipped cream to maintain a light and airy texture.
This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
