Volcano Potatoes

[Guest guest]

OK, this sounds silly but the kids get a kick out of mashed potatoes done this

way. Think " Close Encounters of the Third Kind. "

 

Volcano Potatoes

4 or 5 medium potatoes, peeled, cubed

3/4 cup milk (approximately)

1/2 cup unsweetened whipping cream

1/2 cup American or Cheddar cheese, finely grated

Salt, pepper to taste

 

Boil potatoes in salted water till done. Drain well and mash, adding just

enough milk to make fluffy but not runny. You want the potatoes to hold their

shape. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form;

fold in grated cheese. Grease an 8 " round baking dish and make a

mountain-shaped mound of mashed potatoes in the center. Make a crater in the

center, building up the sides till it looks like a volcano. Pour the whipped

cream and cheese mixture into the center of your potato volcano, letting it run

down the sides. Bake at 350* F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve

in the baking dish.
