These mashed potatoes are going to be a fabulous addition to your holiday table. Add a couple of simple ingredients to your regular mashed potatoes creates a remarkable side dish. Heavy cream melts into the potatoes making them rich and silk. There's nothing better than cheese with potatoes. Swiss cheese folded in makes these nice and cheesy. The fat from the cream and cheese penetrates the potatoes giving them a silky texture. Baked until golden brown, these fancy mashed potatoes are delish.
Note: When preparing your mashed potatoes for this recipe, make sure they are on the thicker side. The cream adds a lot of moisture to the mashed potatoes so it's important that they are prepared thick.
Ingredients
-
3 to 4 cprepared, mashed potatoes (on the thicker side)
-
1/2 cheavy cream
-
1/2 cfreshly grated Swiss cheese (or Parmesan cheese is wonderful too)
-
·salt and freshly ground pepper
How to Make Fancy Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 1 1/2 quart size baking dish. Sometimes I like to use a deep pie plate depending on the quantity of potatoes.
- Spread your prepared mashed potatoes in the buttered dish.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff.
- Fold in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread over the potatoes. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
- This is a treat. Enjoy!!!
