DUCHESSE POTATOES IN RAMEKINS
This is a make-do recipe that I came up with after finding my pastry tube mysteriously gone. Since I couldn't pipe the potatoes as usual, I had to do something else. Voila, a very attractive side dish and easy to make.They are cooked as for a custard to make sure they do not dry out and they will puff much nicer with the moisture in the oven. I would also put in onion puree and perhaps minced chives for more color and flavor. Using a food processor to mix everything makes the whole process much easier and I like the consistency of the taters better. Since this is so basic, almost any savory seasoning can be used, depending on what your main course will be.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously brush six 6-to-8-ounce ramekins with butter. Combine the cheddar, parmesan, chives, flour and cayenne in a large bowl. Thinly slice the potatoes a little less than 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well) and add to the cheese mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper and toss to combine.
- Divide half of the potato-cheese mixture among the prepared ramekins, filling them about halfway (arrange the potato slices so they go to the edge of the ramekins). Top with half of the cream. Repeat with the remaining potato-cheese mixture and cream.
- Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet, cover each with foil and bake until the liquid is bubbly and the potatoes begin to soften but are not completely cooked through, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, uncover the ramekins and bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

MASHED POTATO TIMBALES
Long ago, when we were in a "Gourmet Group", I served something very similar to this, only it had another layer of something. I recall it was green, but not the veggie nor the prep. This serves well with almost any meat, and being self-contained, stays attractive on the plate. Low fat ricotta and sour cream can be substituted.

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are good choices for mashed potatoes, as they are starchy and produce a smooth texture.
- Boil the potatoes until tender: To ensure that the potatoes are cooked evenly, use a large pot and bring the water to a boil before adding them. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes. This will help to remove excess water and make the potatoes light and fluffy.
- Mash the potatoes: You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or a food mill to mash the potatoes. If you're using a potato masher, be sure to mash them until they are smooth and lump-free.
- Add butter and milk: Butter and milk are essential ingredients for creamy mashed potatoes. Add them to the potatoes while they are still hot and mix until they are well combined.
- Season the potatoes: Salt and pepper are the basic seasonings for mashed potatoes, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Garnish the potatoes: Before serving, you can garnish the mashed potatoes with a variety of toppings, such as chopped parsley, chives, or grated cheese.
