DECADENT POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Lightly butter a 12" baking dish.
• Scrub potatoes well and blot dry.
• Do not peel.
• Slice potatoes very thinly or use a mandoline (you can also use your food processor).
• Divide potatoes into 3 equal portions.
• Pour approximately 1/4 cup cream into bottom of the baking dish.
• 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.
• Pour 1/3 of cream over this and grind a little pepper and nutmeg over top.
• Repeat this process until all of the potatoes, cream and Gruyere cheese are used up.
• You will have 3 layers.
• Finish the dish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the top is browned and the potatoes are tender.

DECADENT TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes. Spray pan and potatoes with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350 degrees until done (approx 40 minutes).
• Let potatoes cool enough to handle. Slice in half lengthwise. Spoon out the inside of the potatoes into a bowl; leaving a shallow amount in the shells. Place shells back into pan.
• Add cream cheese, butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of the milk and all spices into the bowl with the potato insides. Stir until blended & fluffy, but not overworked. Adjust with additional tablespoons of milk if needed. The result should be creamy, but still scoop able.
• Spoon into the potato shells. Cover and chill at this point if making for a later meal. They can also be frozen at this point.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are hot & lightly browned. If working with chilled potatoes made earlier in the day add 10-15 minutes cooking time. The potatoes can also be baked directly from frozen by adjusting the cooking time.
• Optional garnish: After removing from oven sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika & the green onion tops for color.

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!

DECADENT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place cut potatoes in a 6-quart saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter with cream, 1 tablespoon sea salt, and a pinch of white pepper.
• When potatoes are cooked thoroughly (remove a piece and taste to ensure tenderness), drain in a colander. While still hot, pass potatoes through a food mill with a medium sieve attachment, or through a potato ricer, and put back into the pot in which they were cooked.
• Slowly pour the warm butter-cream mixture into the potatoes; incorporate gently with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh chives or basil. Serve immediately.
