Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

FOR THE POTATO VOLCANO
6 medium potatoes cooked
1 c evaporated milk or more if needed
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
FOR THE VOLCANO TOPPING
2 egg yolks beaten
1/4 c evaporated milk
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 c grated american cheese or more to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel cooked potatoes and mash in the hot drained pan they were boiled in. Mash thoroughly and then beat fluffy adding milk for your favorite desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Heap mixture in center of a greased pie plate or baking dish. Make a crater in the center the size of a custard cup.
  • 3. Mix yolks, milk, butter, cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Pour into the crater. Bake in a very hot oven (450°F) until the topping browns, cracks and runs down the side of the potato volcano, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use small to medium potatoes: These cook more evenly and have a better texture than larger potatoes.
  • Pierce the potatoes with a fork: This helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from bursting.
  • Use a baking sheet with a lip: This prevents the oil and melted cheese from dripping onto the bottom of your oven.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include shredded cheese, chopped bacon, sour cream, and chives.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
