"EVERYTHING" MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE



The everything-mashed potato casserole seemed to evolve over a year and it's a great dish to take to a covered dish event. If I need to keep it warm for a longer time, I sometimes place the mixture into a crockpot and then add the sour cream, bacon, cheese and chives. -Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia

Chantilly Mashed Potato Casserole image

The addition of whipped cream into mashed potatoes is what makes them Chantilly mashed potatoes.

With a light and luxurious texture, it's a perfect side dish for any holiday or special occasion.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
kosher salt to taste
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
½ cup buttermilk
¾ cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes into a pot, cover with fresh, cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, testing by poking potatoes with a knife. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes but could be between 15 and 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let drain in a colander for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer into a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until no lumps remain. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese. Mix and mash until everything has been incorporated.
  • Add cayenne, 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, and mash until well combined. Taste and adjust for salt.
  • Whisk cream in a metal bowl until thick and fairly stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the whipped cream onto the potatoes and cut it in with the side of a spatula to lighten the mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream but do it carefully to preserve the maximum amount of volume, cutting in until just barely mixed.
  • Transfer into a well-buttered casserole dish and distribute gently with a fork. Smooth the top with a spoon if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and dust lightly with cayenne.
  • Place the baking dish on a pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

vegetable cooking spray
1 ½ pounds 80% lean ground beef
¼ cup diced yellow onion
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 stalk green onion, chopped, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, divided
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch meat tenderizer, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash browning sauce
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated flaky biscuits
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

Spread drained ground beef mixture evenly on top of the biscuits. Spread diced tomatoes over the beef, then evenly scatter frozen vegetables. Spread mashed potatoes over the top, and sprinkle with remaining green onions, Cheddar cheese, and remaining parsley. Cover with foil.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook more evenly and prevent the skins from toughening.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: You can use a potato masher, ricer, or food processor.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of each and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Top the casserole with cheese, breadcrumbs, or other toppings: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will usually take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy potato casserole that your family and friends will love.
