BAKED FETA MASHED POTATOES



Baked Feta Mashed Potatoes image

We took inspiration from the wildly popular baked feta pasta recipe of TikTok fame and reimagined it to create a big-batch thanksgiving side dish. The best part is no more boiling water and crowding your stovetop. Instead, we put all the ingredients together in one dish and then bake it in the oven. Cooking the dish covered helps simmer and steam the potatoes at the same time, making them smooth and fluffy when mashed. The baked feta bubbles and melts into the potatoes to lend a subtle and delicious tanginess.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for the dish
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
2 cups half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 7-ounce block feta cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch (3.75-quart) casserole dish with butter.
  • Put the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, add the half-and-half and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes in an even layer and place the block of feta in the center, on top of the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and dot the butter over the potatoes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the half-and-half is simmering, the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through and very tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • Remove and reserve the aluminum foil. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients in the casserole dish until well combined, smooth and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cover the mashed potatoes with the reserved foil and return to the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Top with the chopped chives and a few grinds of pepper.

SIMPLE GARLIC & FETA SMASHED POTATOES



Simple Garlic & Feta Smashed Potatoes image

This was a spur of the moment experiment. I had a craving for mashed potatoes, but I hate peeling them (they say that all the nutrients are in the skin anyway, so I like to leave them on) and was kinda bored with regular mashed potatoes. I checked the fridge and this is what happened. Every single time that I serve these potatoes, they are gone in record time. Please keep in mind that I am a "measure by eye" type, so the recipe may need to be adjusted to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

SPANAKOPITA MASHED POTATOES



Spanakopita Mashed Potatoes image

I learned to cook by watching my mom in the kitchen. Most of the recipes I make use only five or six ingredients, and have a healthier bent. I created this recipe after I tried a spinach-topped baked potato. Flecks of red and green from the potato skin and spinach make these potatoes look festive and special. By leaving the potatoes unpeeled, you not only keep some nutrients, you also save on prep time.-Ashley Levy, Columbia, Maryland

Tips:

  • For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes, as they will become gluey. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Mash the potatoes while they are still hot, as this will help them absorb the butter and milk more easily.
  • If you are using a potato ricer, be sure to rice the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help to create a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • Add the feta cheese, butter, milk, and seasonings to taste. You can also add other ingredients like roasted garlic, herbs, or spices.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Feta cheese mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy and smooth or chunky and rustic, feta cheese mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
