Mashed Potatoes Gratin

I'm a sides kind of gal.  I could forgo all of the meet, pasta and salad and live off of sides.  This potato side from Betty Crocker was one of our Easter recipes.  Easy to make, tasty, perfect pair to brown sugar glazed ham.  Enjoy!

Unsalted butter for greasing casserole
2 1/2cups Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
4large russet potatoes, peeled, finely chopped (5 cups)

4cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste, if desired
