We frequently serve this delicious mashed potato recipe on the holidays. It is one of our favorites and you can make it ahead. Just let it come to room temperature, then warm it in the oven about 20-30 minutes, adding the cheese the last 5 minutes.
Mashed Potato Casserole
Serves 8
Ingredients:
6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
1 tsp. chopped chives
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions:
Grease a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bring potatoes to a boil in lightly salted water in a covered sauce pan. Reduce heat, simmer until tender. Drain potatoes.
In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until most of the lumps are gone. Add the butter and continue mixing until smooth. Add the milk, sour, cream, salt, pepper, & chives, mixing until well blended. Place mixture in the prepared casserole dish and cover with the cheese. Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
This recipe doubles well baked in a 3-4 quart casserole.
Happy Holidays!
