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.
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.
