Baked Mashed Potatoes
You have probably cooked
mashed potatoes the traditional way. But you should try the
baked mashed potatoes
recipe.
What's the difference between the traditional and this recipe?
The difference is that for this recipe you bake the potatoes instead of boiling
them. It may take a few more minutes, but it is really worth it. Here is the
recipe below:
Preparation Time : 20 minutesCooking Time :
35 minutes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled, cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with 1
tablespoon of butter and set aside.
- Then, cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until
they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the
same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the
mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.
- Next, place the potatoes to the baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and
remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the
bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes.
- Finally, bake, uncovered, until the topping is crispy and golden brown,
for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
