Baked Mashed Potatoes

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever had left over mashed potatoes and did not know what to do with them.  Here is an idea you might find delicious, I know my husband Jim did.

Baked Mashed Potatoes.

I took my leftover basil mashed potatoes (about 3 cups) added 1/3 cup of half & half, 1/4 cup of Marzetti's Sweet Vidala Onion Dressing and a 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, season with some slat/pepper, onion/garlic powder and a little thyme.  I love spices and herbs.  Mix all together and pour into a greased (I use spray oil) top with more shredded sharp cheddar cheesed and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and just a little crispy on the edges.   They will be very soft and delicious.   Enjoy!!!

Well this is the recipe for this post.  don't throw those leftover mashed potatoes away.  Create a dish that your taste buds will love.  Give it a try.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting me here in Nana's Kitchen.  You are always welcome, stop by anytime.


Love, hugs, and God bless you,
