BAKED MASHED POTATOES WITH PARMESAN



Baked Mashed Potatoes With Parmesan image

The combination here of baked and mashed potatoes can be made in advance and reheated at serving time. A food mill or old-fashioned food ricer yields the best texture, but you can also mash the potatoes in any way you are accustomed. I like to use Idaho potatoes because they are less moist than many other types.
