MASCARPONE MASHED POTATOES

• Whisk mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir egg yolk and milk into mascarpone cheese, whisking until smooth; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are heated through and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
