I SERVE potatoes with just about every meal. Besides using this recipe as a side dish, I discovered I could serve it as a main dish for a lighter meal. It satisfies the appetite well, especially for us older folks. A dear friend shared this recipe with me several years ago. -Margery Bryan, Royal City, Washington
Ingredients:
1 cup hot mashed potatoes (with added milk and butter)
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
dash dill weed
2 teaspoons butter
1 can (8-1/2 ounces) peas, drained
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine potatoes and egg yolk; mix well. Stir in the cheese.
2. Spoon two mounds onto a greased baking sheet. With the back of a spoon, shape each mound into a 4-in. nest. Sprinkle with dill; dot with butter. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown. Fill nest with peas. Bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 2 servings.
