BAKED MASHED POTATO RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
• Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. Recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill.
• Bake, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Put potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker crock. Scatter flour over the potatoes; toss to coat.
• Scatter bacon bits, red onion, garlic, chicken bouillon, ranch dressing mix, parsley, seasoned salt, and black pepper over the potatoes.
• Pour water into the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low 7 to 9 hours.
• Pour half-and-half into the soup; cook another 15 minutes.
• Garnish with Cheddar cheese and green onion to serve.
