Everyone who has tasted these cheesy mashed potatoes asks how to make them. Since this comforting casserole bakes at the same temperature as my chicken bundles, I get it started in the oven and pop in the entree a little later. -Brad Moritz, Limerick, Pennsylvania

Tips:

  • To make the mashed potatoes extra creamy, use a potato ricer to mash them instead of a potato masher.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food processor or blender to mash the potatoes. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become gluey.
  • Add the milk and butter to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the liquid and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with cheese and bake them in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Skinny cheesy mashed potatoes are a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
