Provided by ruthguillo

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted margarine, divided.
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1/2-cup)
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups cooked mashed potatoes
1/4 cup bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon margarine over medium heat. Add onion, saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir sour cream, thyme, nutmeg, pepper, and salt into skillet. Mix well. In a medium bowl, combine mashed potatoes with onion mixture. Mix well. Spoon into a 1-quart casserole dish; smooth top. Sprinkle bread crumbs over potato mixture and dot with remaining margarine. Bake potato casserole until heated through and top is golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent the skins from toughening.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to the potatoes: This will help to create a rich and flavorful mashed potato dish.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
