Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
- Place potatoes into a pot, cover with fresh, cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, testing by poking potatoes with a knife. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes but could be between 15 and 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let drain in a colander for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer into a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until no lumps remain. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese. Mix and mash until everything has been incorporated.
- Add cayenne, 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, and mash until well combined. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Whisk cream in a metal bowl until thick and fairly stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the whipped cream onto the potatoes and cut it in with the side of a spatula to lighten the mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream but do it carefully to preserve the maximum amount of volume, cutting in until just barely mixed.
- Transfer into a well-buttered casserole dish and distribute gently with a fork. Smooth the top with a spoon if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and dust lightly with cayenne.
- Place the baking dish on a pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for mashed potato casserole because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
- Cook the potatoes in chicken broth: Cooking the potatoes in chicken broth instead of water adds flavor and richness to the casserole.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. Lumpy potatoes will make the casserole grainy.
- Use plenty of butter and milk: Butter and milk make the mashed potatoes creamy and rich. Don't skimp on these ingredients!
- Season the mashed potatoes well: Use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the mashed potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Don't overmix the casserole: Overmixing the casserole will make it gummy. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Top the casserole with cheese and breadcrumbs: The cheese and breadcrumbs add a crispy, golden-brown topping to the casserole.
- Bake the casserole until bubbly and golden brown: Bake the casserole at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is bubbly and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Mashed potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With these tips, you can make the best mashed potato casserole ever!
