Yield: 4

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, for dish
3 tablespoons fine dried bread crumbs
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
2 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg

Steps

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-inch-long, 1/4-inch-deep oval gratin dish. Coat with bread crumbs, and set the dish aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the potatoes, egg yolks, cream, Parmesan cheese, and garlic until creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper, and set the potato mixture aside.
Place egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until the whites are glossy and stiff.
Fold the egg whites into the potato mixture. Transfer mixture to the prepared gratin dish, and bake until golden and puffy, about 40 minutes. Top with nutmeg, and serve.
