Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel the potatoes and cut each into quarters. There should be about 4 cups. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to a depth of about one-half inch above the potatoes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the onion, garlic and salt. Bring to a boil and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain the potato mixture and return to the kettle in which it was cooked. Add salt, 4 tablespoons of the butter, pepper, nutmeg and parsley.

  3. Step 3

    Mash the potatoes to a smooth texture, using the back of a large spoon. Spoon the potato mixture into a buttered baking dish (a dish measuring 6½ by 11½ inches is ideal), and smooth over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high.

  5. Step 5

    Place the potatoes under the broiler 3 or 4 inches from the source of heat. Broil 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and slightly bubbling on top.
