I was planning on serving mashed potatoes with dinner but was in search for a recipe that was a little different. This Baked Mashed Potatoes Recipe seemed to fit into the dinner menu very well. This mashed potato recipe is a little more work but it is worth the additional effort. This is a simple recipe but takes a little more time because you have to precook the potatoes and mash them before they go into the oven which requires an additional 20 minutes of cooking time. I followed the recipe as written and the end result was a nice cheesy, creamy mashed potato dish; topped with gray it was delicious.
If you’re in the mood for a change from regular mashed potatoes give this Baked Mashed Potatoes Recipe a try. Enjoy
