MASHED POTATO INGREDIENT RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until totally soft, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Meanwhile, make the caramelized onions: In a large skillet over medium-low heat melt butter. Add onion and season with salt. Cook until soft and golden, 10 to 15 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher to mash until smooth. Add in sour cream and milk and stir until smooth. Fold in caramelized onions and chives and season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Garnish with chives and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine mashed potatoes, bacon, chives, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Divide the mashed potatoes evenly into each cup. Make a hole in the center of each mashed potato cup.
• Add shredded cheddar to the center of each cup.
• Bake mashed potato cups at 400ºF (200ºC) for 30-35 minutes or until outside is crispy and brown.
• Top with a dollop of sour cream, chives and bacon crumbs.
• Enjoy!
