Make sure the potatoes are well-mashed. I find it is best to let them cool slightly after cooking, then rice them.

Dump all ingredients together in large bowl and mix well.

Transfer mixture to casserole dish (I usually use a 2 qt dish).

Bake at 325 degrees F for 45-50 minutes.

While the potatoes are baking, mix the ingredients for the topping and crumble over the top when there is approx 15-20 minutes left of baking time. When using a shallow dish I usually double the topping to cover the entire surface.
