Hoppen Mashed Potatoes

September 13, 2019 Leave a Comment

There are many variations of this recipe but the end result is the same every time.  Rich and Creamy mashed potatoes that don’t require gravy. Of course you can add gravy if you so desire!  

My earliest memory of having anything close to this was when my Mom made twice baked potatoes.  They were served in the shell of a halved potato and they quickly became my favorite side dish.  Years later we served them at their restaurant the Dominie Huis and later on the famous Noel mashed potatoes emerged as another version of this delectable potato dish.

This version is my own and is based on what my Mom used to make. However, it always starts with Potatoes.

Scrub the potatoes and partially peel them, or peel completely, or not at all! I actually prefer to partially peel them.  Boil them in Water and 1 tsp of the garlic salt until soft and fork pierces easily.  Place Butter, cream cheese and milk, in the bottom of a mixing bowl and beat until both are melted and mixed in well with potatoes.  Add sour cream garlic salt, minced onion, pepper and mix well again.  Gently stir in shredded cheddar cheese and put in individual serving dishes or a casserole dish of your choice.  If you kept the potato halves intact fill them back up and put on a cookie sheet.  Bake 20 minutes and garnish with remaining sharp cheddar cheese, green onion and bacon if desired.
