MANCHEGO MASHED POTATOES
a la Rachael Ray-- Manchego cheese, from Spain, can be found at Trader Joe's among other markets. These are pretty darned good... I can envision sauteed leeks in the mix as well.

MASHED POTATOES WITH MANCHEGO AND OLIVE OIL
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Stand the garlic on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with oil and wrap in the foil. Bake for about 1 hour, until the garlic is very soft. Squeeze the soft cloves from the skins into a small bowl and mash with a fork. 2. Meanwhile, bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of water. Salt the water and boil over moderately high heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Shake the pot over moderately high heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes. 3. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, then mash in half of the hot cream. Add the remaining cream and mash again. Stir in the Manchego to melt, then slowly stir in the mashed garlic and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and serve.
Tips:
- For a creamy and smooth texture, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- To enhance the flavor of the mashed potatoes, use high-quality Manchego cheese.
- If you don't have Manchego cheese, you can substitute Parmesan or Gruyère cheese.
- For a more decadent flavor, add a dollop of butter or sour cream to the mashed potatoes.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs on top of the mashed potatoes before baking.
- To make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, prepare them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the mashed potatoes, place them in a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.

Manchego mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be paired with a variety of entrees. Whether you're serving them for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
