BUFFET POTATOES



Buffet Potatoes image

Buffet Potatoes are great just as the name says for your buffet. Also, wonderful to have in the refrigerator to reheat when making as many dishes ahead is helpful. We love it with ham, turkey, and brisket. Also, great for potluck dinners. Note: I always use 98% fat free soups and always use fat free sour cream in any recipe that calls for soup and/or sour cream. If you are watching the fats, you might enjoy some of my other casseroles. I love easy casseroles!

HOLIDAY MASHED POTATOES



Holiday Mashed Potatoes image

My mom passed this recipe on to me several years ago and I have been making it for every holiday dinner since. They can be made ahead, eliminating the need for mashing potatoes on the big day! I sprinkle a little paprika on top before baking to give it some color. Prep time does not include time it takes to boil the potatoes.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lbs potatoes, peeled and cooked
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper

Steps:

  • Beat hot potatoes until all lumps are removed.
  • Add cream cheese (in small pieces) and the butter.
  • Beat well until cheese and butter are completely melted and mixed.
  • Stir in sour cream.
  • Add eggs and onion to milk and add this to the potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Place in a greased 9-inch casserole.
  • Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until lightly rounded on top (puffy).

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking. Russet potatoes are not recommended for this recipe.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling helps to cook the potatoes evenly and prevent them from becoming too crispy on the outside and raw on the inside.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can add any other vegetables you like, such as peas, corn, or green beans.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the potatoes. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs or spices, to taste.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Roasted potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be kept warm in a covered dish for up to 30 minutes, but they will start to lose their crispness after that.

Conclusion:

These Holiday Buffet Potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this dish that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a side dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give these Holiday Buffet Potatoes a try.
