Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg potatoes, frozen or fresh shredded
1 qt half and half or cream
butter, softened
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 2. Fill half and half to 2/3 of the side of the cooking dish.
  • 3. Cut a stick of butter into 1/2 teaspoon slices, and place all over top of potatoes. Salt and pepper generously over top of dish.
  • 4. These can be cooked with other foods that are being prepared and are done when there is a tan edge and some of the potatoes sticking out of the cream are toasted a little.
  • 5. For a 13" x 9" pan at 375, these take roughly 45-60 minutes if solo in the oven. This amount serves roughly 8-10 people depending on the other foods being served, and the amount of potato lovers! These are so easy and taste so good!

Categories     Potato     Side

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs. russet potatoes, pricked with fork
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
3 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes directed on oven rack and bake 45-60 min. or easily pierced with fork. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and halve lengthwise. Grease 13x9x2 inch or 3 quart baking pan. Scrape out potato flesh. Mash potato flesh with electric mixer until smooth. Add butter and milk and stir until blended. Spread in prepared pan. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. With electric mixer, whip cream to soft peaks and fold in Gruyere cheese by hand. Spread evenly over potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until heated thoroughly and topping is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for roasting, while red potatoes are ideal for boiling or frying.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are a classic combination, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: This will help the potatoes crisp up and brown beautifully.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space to roast properly.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy crust.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender and browned: This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
