Twice Baked Gruyere Mashed Potatoes Recipes

GRUYERE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. (You can leave the peel on if desired or peel half of the potatoes. The potato peel gives it a rustic texture, so yummy)
• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
• Cooking on medium heat, boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until the potato is soft but not mushy. You'll know it has cooked long enough when you stick a fork in the potato and the potato doesn't stay on the fork when you lift it.
• Drain the water off the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot again and add the remaining ingredients.
• Mash potatoes with a hand masher or an electric mixer ( if you plan to use an electric mixer, don't overmix the potatoes or they will have a gluey texture-use a low speed and only until the potatoes are mashed enough) You can add a pat of butter and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!

POTATOES WITH GRUYERE AND DIJON

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the hot pot. Mash with the milk or half-n-half. Stir in the cheese and mustard and combine, and then season with salt and pepper.

STUFFED POTATOES WITH HAM, THYME, AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Rub potatoes with a drizzle of oil and pierce skins with the tines of a fork. Microwave on high 12 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes cook in the microwave, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and saute chopped shallots 2 to 3 minutes or until bits are just tender. Set aside.
• Cool potatoes for 5 minutes, split potatoes down the center, and scrape flesh into a bowl. Set skins aside on a non-stick baking sheet. Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6-inches from the heat source.
• To the cooked potato in the mixing bowl, add shallots, ham strips, grated cheese, butter, milk or half-and-half, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Mash mixture with a potato masher or dinner fork until mixture is combined, but not entirely lump-free.
• Scoop mixture in even amounts into skins and broil 2 or 3 minutes to lightly brown stuffed potatoes on top. Serve the halves of stuffed potatoes with salad, dark bread, and butter.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES (STUFFED JACKET POTATOES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan). Place a rack on a tray (recommended but not critical).
• Prick potatoes: Wash, scrub and dry potatoes well. Prick each potato 8 times with a fork.
• Oil and salt: Put potatoes in a bowl, pour over oil and rub onto potatoes. Then sprinkle over salt and use your hands to coat. (Just do this as best you can. Some will stick, much will not!)
• Bake: Place potatoes on rack and bake for 75 minutes or until you can pierce with a small knife with no resistance.
• Cook bacon: Place bacon in a cold non-stick pan over medium heat. When the fat starts to melt, turn the heat up to high and cook bacon until golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat butter and cream: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add cream and heat until hot, but don't let it boil. (You could also do this in a microwave)
• Lower oven: Turn oven down to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
• Scoop out potato flesh: Allow potatoes to cool enough so you can handle them (or use a tea towel). Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh, leaving 0.7cm (1/3") thick layer of potato still stuck to skin.
• Mash potato: Place potato flesh in a bowl and mash while hot until smooth.
• Add-ins: Add half the cheese (save the rest for topping), most of the bacon (save a bit for garnish), all the green onion, hot cream and butter, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Stuff and top with cheese: Fill potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbly.
• Serve: Serve immediately, garnish with sour cream, reserved bacon and chives.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH GRUYERE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil, and bake until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half. Scoop out flesh, reserving skins, and pass through a ricer, or mash by hand. Stir in egg yolks, butter, cream, 1 cup Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper. Scoop filling onto reserved skins. Cover with foil, and refrigerate until shortly before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place filled potatoes on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with remaining Gruyere. Bake until filling is set and tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH CHEESE & BACON

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Set the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake until tender all the way through, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a work surface and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Examine each potato to see if there's a way to halve it to give you two shallow, wide halves rather than taller, narrower ones. With a large chef's knife, slice each potato in half lengthwise, cutting cleanly- not sawing-so as not to tear the skin. Using a dishtowel or oven mitt to protect your hand from the heat, hold a potato half in one hand and gently scoop out the flesh with a spoon, leaving the shells 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick.Repeat with the remaining halves. Force all the flesh through a potato ricer or mash it with a potato masher; transfer it to a mixing bowl.
• With a wooden spoon, stir 3 Tbs. of the butter, the crème fraîche, half-and-half, cheeses, bacon, salt, pepper to taste, and chives or scallions, if using, into the mashed potato flesh. Scoop the filling into the potato skins, compacting it lightly. For a rough-textured surface, mark it with the tines of a fork. Top each with bits of the remaining 1/2 Tbs. butter..
• Heat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish. Bake until heated through and beginning to brown in spots on top, 25 to 30 minutes (or 35 to 40 minutes if made ahead and refrigerated). Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

TWICE BAKED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mash potatoes with 1/4 cup butter until butter is melted. Beat sour cream and cream cheese into potato mixture until smooth; mix in 2 cups Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese. Spread potato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese, 2 tablespoons butter pieces, and bacon bits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, cheese is melted, and edges are crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.

TWICE-BAKED GRUYERE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together potatoes, half and half, butter, Gruyere, parsley and seasoning until smooth. Place into a lightly oiled souffle dish or 4 6-ounce ramekins for individual servings. Bake at 350 degrees F until hot and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.

GRUYERE TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Poke hole around potatoes with a fork. Bake in the oven at 375° for 45 minutes to an hour. When you slightly press the sides they give and are soft, that's how I tell when they are done (do this with an oven mitt on, not your bare hands, ouch!)
• 2. While potatoes bake, brown the bacon until it's the crispiness you love. Drain the fat. In mixing bowl add all other ingredients except the 1/4 cup gruyere cheese.
• 3. With your hand covered in an oven mitt, hold the potato horizontal and remove the top skin with a knife. Set the "tops" aside and using small spoon, scoop out as much potato as you can without tearing the skin.
• 4. Add the scooped out potato to the mixing bowl with everything else and stir to combine (make sure the butter gets melted.) Carefully use the mix to fill the potatoes back up (careful not to tear the skin.) This will make them overflow with stuffing and that's a good thing.
• 5. Top potatoes and the potato tops with the remaining gruyere cheese. Put back in the oven and bake 30 - 45 minutes, until the cheese is lightly brown on top.
• 6. Remove to plate or serving dish and top with those cute little cheese covered tops. I hope you enjoy, we sure did!
