This dish takes about 5 minutes longer than regular mashed potatoes and takes the old favorite up about 4 notches. I use the packaged Potato Toppers found by the vegetables at the market, but if you want to do it from scratch (and I have) make your own crumbled bacon and add chopped green onions. Ingredients:
8 medium potatoes |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 ounces mccormick potato toppers |
1/4 cup butter |
8 ounces sour cream |
1/3 cup cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Use your favorite potato for this, but if they are new or red potatoes just quarter them without peeling.
2. Place in saucepan with water to cover and the salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender then remove from heat, drain and return to burner for a few seconds to dry.
3. Mash the potatoes, add butter and mash some more. Add sour cream until.
4. smooth and creamy but if the mixture starts to get to sloppy don't use all the sour cream.
5. Stir in the Potato Toppers and transfer to a lightly buttered casserole dish and cover with grated Cheddar cheese. I prefer aged cheese but that's just me.
6. Place in preheated oven at 375F for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to crust.
7. Remove from oven and serve.
