How to Make Mashed Potato Casserole

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium pieces. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Boil the potatoes, cooking them until they are soft. Then, drain the liquid out and place the potatoes into a mixing bowl.

2. Using a masher, give them a rough mash. Then, add the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, and salt. Mash thoroughly, making sure to fully incorporate all the ingredients throughout.

3. Add the milk and then mash again until the potatoes have a smooth and creamy texture.

4. Spoon the mashed potatoes into an oven-safe casserole dish and then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 40 minutes. Once a golden-brown crust has formed, remove it from the oven and serve.

Helpful Tips & Tricks

Use herbed goat cheese. When you purchase your goat cheese for this recipe, opt for a variety that already has herbs in it. This will add extra flavor to your casserole.

Bake the next day. This recipe is great because you dont have to make it on the day you serve it. You can prepare it the day before in the casserole dish and then just pop it in the oven before dinnertime.

Not a goat cheese fan? If the tangy taste and aroma of goat cheese isnt to your liking, then you can substitute cream cheese instead.

Dont Add Cold Ingredients to Warm Potatoes. Make sure your dairy products are room temperature before adding them in. The potatoes willabsorb them betterthis way and the dish will end up muchcreamier.

How to Store and Reheat

To store this Mashed Potato Casserole, place it in a storage container with a tightly-fitting lid. It can stay in the refrigerator for up to four days.

To reheat this dish, you can do it in the oven or use a slow cooker. If you use the oven, then heat the mashed potatoes in an oven-safe dish or pan, covered by foil, at 375F for 30-40 minutes. In a slow cooker, just add a little bit more milk and butter to keep it moist as it warms.

If youd like to reheat it in the microwave, you will need to warm it for a couple of minutes at a time, stirring in more milk and butter as needed, to keep the consistency.
