BAKED CREAMED POTATOES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel and chop potatoes, cook in boiling salted water until tender, drain well.
• Mash until smooth, mix with mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, lightly beaten eggs, mustard and parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• Press mixture though a sieve, spoon mixture evenly into a greased casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with grated cheeses.
• Bake in a moderate oven 20 - 30 minutes or until golden on top.

Steps:

• Peel onion as thinly as possible.
• Peel the potatoes and slice as evenly as possible, about 1/8" thick.
• In a 4 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the onion slices.
• Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the onions are wilted and translucent.
• Add the cream and bring to a boil.
• Add the potatoes, folding them into the cream with a rubber spatula to make sure each slice is well coated.
• Add nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer until the cream begins to thicken and the potatoes are almost tender.
• They should still have some resistance to the bite.
• **(Recipe can be completed to this stage well in advance. If you are not ready to proceed with serving the potatoes, remove them from the pan and store in a covered container in the refrigerator).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In 6-8 shallow, oven-proof gratin dishes, OR individual casseroles, OR in one large Pyrex baking dish, spoon a layer of potatoes and cream mixture about 1 inch deep.
• (It is not necessary to grease the dishes first).
• **The casseroles can be assembled to this point well in advance of baking.
• The potatoes will not discolor since they are already partially cooked.
• Bake in the upper third of the oven at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the tip of a knife slides easily into the potatoes and they are golden brown on top.
• Serves 6-8.
