CREAMY AND DECADENT MASHED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the potatoes, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to a large pot. Pour in the cream and milk, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid, and discard the herbs and garlic. Press the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
• Add about 1½ cups of the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes and stir until creamy. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
• Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
• Note: You can save any extra cooking liquid and use it to rehydrate leftover mashed potatoes the next day.
• Enjoy!

• Lay 1/3 of the sliced potatoes evenly in rows on top of the cream.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the Gruyere on top of the potato slices.

DECADENT THREE-CHEESE AND BACON AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until almost crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
• Layer 1/3 the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, leaving a few 'holes' so cream can seep between layers. Top with 1/2 the onion. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Top with 1/2 the blue cheese, 1/2 the Parmesan cheese, 1/2 the bacon, and 1/2 the thyme. Sprinkle with 1/3 the Cheddar cheese.
• Repeat layering with remaining ingredients ending with remaining 1/3 Cheddar cheese.
• Pour heavy cream slowly over the top, allowing to seep down to the bottom between layers. Dot the top with butter. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove aluminum foil covering. Return to the oven and continue to bake, uncovered, until browned on top, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
