LOADED MASHED POTATOES
Tired of the same old side dish, I whipped up this new family favorite. We can't get enough of these loaded mashed potatoes at our house. Often, I'll prepare this casserole ahead and refrigerate it. Then I bake it just before serving. -Dawn Reuter, Oxford, Wisconsin

FARMHOUSE LOADED MASHED POTATOES
This is an ideal dish to prepare ahead of time, then pop it in the oven to reheat at meal-time. OR skip the oven part altogether if you can work quickly and get the cheese into the spuds while they're toasty hot (so the cheese melts). Original recipe comes from "Best of Country Cooking 2003" by Reiman Publications with my own personal tweakings (of course)!

Tips:
- To achieve the creamiest mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or whole milk instead of regular milk.
- Don't overcook the potatoes, as they will become gluey.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth, but don't overmix them, or they will become dense.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
- For loaded mashed potatoes, stir in your favorite mix-ins, such as cheese, bacon, chives, or roasted vegetables.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting.
