Heat oven to 375F.
Peel and dice the potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons salt.
Bring to boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and return potatoes to the pot.
Gently mash the potatoes.
Add the milk, sour cream, cheese, and 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix to combine.
Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Spread the potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the panko with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the panko is coated well.
Sprinkle the buttered panko crumbs over the mashed potatoes.
Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are hot and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Enjoy!
