Mega Mashed Potatoes

"The best thing about these potatoes is that even when you microwave them they will keep their original consistency. The worst thing is you can feel your arteries hardening as you eat them, but the taste buds will be kicking up such a ruckus that you might not notice it."

directions

  • Boil the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through (a fork will almost break the potatoes, an inserted toothpick will come out clean).
  • Drain well.
  • While still hot, either mash or rice the potatoes in an oven-proof bowl.
  • Add the butter and stir until the butter is completely melted.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the sour cream until the potatoes are a little smoother, but you can still see more potatoes than you can sour cream (unless you like sour cream like I do, then go ahead and add a little more).
  • Add 2 splashes of milk to help smooth out the potatoes and stirr well.
  • Add the heavy cream and stir.
  • The potatoes will be super smooth, but be careful not to let this become a soup.
  • Add the green onions and garlic and stir until well blended.
  • Smooth the top over, leaving the potatoes more mounded in the center.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted.
  • If you're really daring, go a little further until the top starts to brown.
  • Serve immediately and may God have mercy on your arteries.

  1. Mashed potatoes so good that they'll be on our Thanksgiving table! I made them with light sour cream and fat free half and half and it turned out beautifully!!!
     
  2. I am so pleased with this recipe. Bill, you gave very good instuctions. I was a bit worried that I may have messed it up. But I followed your instructions and it came out wonderful. I mixed it all in the pot and poured it into the buttered glass baking dish. I only used 3 cloves of garlic and now I am ready to put more in it. This recipe is so much fun and very easy to do. Do not let the instructions scare you away. After all, your arteries need some excitment once in a while. The taste is so wonderful. This is a keeper for sure.

When I was 19, I remember one day looking at a box of good ol' macaroni and cheese and I had a nerve wracking time making it, holding the box like it was a talisman, consulting it every 30 seconds. That was the same day I'd vowed I would learn to cook. Honestly, I didn't expect I'd enjoy it so much, and I try to learn as many different disciplines as I can on my own. While you will almost never see a bread or cake recipe from me (I can't seem to do them right), I hope my meager offerings please the palate...and more importantly, the stomach! Bueno Apetito!
