This is a rich, creamy casserole that is sure to please cheese and tater lovers. :) My sis and me came up with this as we love mashed potatoes, but wanted something a little different for a change. I hope youll enjoy it! :) Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, coarsely diced (if using organic no need to peel them) |
3 tablespoons goat cheese (cream cheese) |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated |
1/8 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided) |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided) |
3 scallions, sliced (use white and green parts) |
Directions:
1. Place potato cubes in a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain.
2. Return potatoes to the pot and add cream cheese and milk. Mash with a masher until rather creamy. Season with garlic, nutmeg and salt to taste.
3. Now add in HALF of the mozzarella and HALF of the cheddar cheese (meaning 1/4 cup of each). Mash a little more.
4. Add in scallions, mix well.
5. Pour mashed taters into a 9X13 baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned on top. If you like the top very brown, you can put the dish on the top rack for the last 5 minutes.
7. Enjoy!
