2. 2

   Coat the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.

3. 3

   Set aside.

4. 4

   In a large pot, add enough water to fill 3/4 of the way, and then add the potatoes, garlic and a hefty pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Bring to a boil and cook until a fork is easily inserted, but the potatoes still hold their form, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Strain in a colander and place back over the empty pot, allowing the remaining heat to evaporate some of the moisture from the potatoes and garlic, just a few minutes.

7. 7

   Mash the contents of the pot well, and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the heavy cream.

8. 8

   Mash until smooth, but if you like it chunky, leave it chunky.

9. 9

   Then stir in 1 cup pepper jack cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

10. 10

    Spoon into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

11. 11

    Stir together the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons jack cheese and breadcrumbs.

    Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes.

13. 13

    Bake in the oven until the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
