SOUTHWEST POTATO CASSEROLE



Southwest Potato Casserole image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: Try this yummy cheesy zesty potato casserole! It has all of the southwest flavors I love. It's very comforting and satisfying too. It is super easy to throw together, and uses pantry staples most of us have on hand. I really enjoyed it with tuna, but I think it would be just as good Vegetarian or with cooked chicken, cooked ground beef or cooked sausage. I made this pretty mild, but it can easily be spiced up with fresh or canned jalapenos or added red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Feel free to use reduced-fat cheese.

Need an easy potato side dish? Try this baked mashed potato casserole. No one will ever guess it starts with instant potatoes. We thought it would need butter, but boy we were wrong.

Categories     Casseroles

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c instant mashed potato flakes, prepared
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 c Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded or cut into little pieces
3 slice bacon, crisply fried and chopped
garlic salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. This would work well with leftover potatoes as well. Soften your cream cheese in the microwave.
  • 2. Then add to the mashed potatoes (works better if the mashed potatoes are hot as well). Stir in the Monterrey Jack and mix well. The potatoes will begin to look very fluffy - even instant ones.
  • 3. Then I added garlic salt and pepper to taste. Put the potatoes into a greased baking dish.
  • 4. Set the oven to 350. Cut your sliced cheese into little pieces or shred regular cheddar. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the casserole.
  • 5. Then place the chopped bacon pieces over the top. I sprayed the top of the casserole with spray butter.
  • 6. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and the cheese is melted. It will be almost like a souffle - really. Enjoy!!!

CHANTILLY MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

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.
