How to make Mashed Potato Casserole
Step 1: After peeling the potatoes, cut them into medium chunks. In a pot, place the potatoes. Add water enough to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. When done, drain the liquid and transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mash the potatoes using a masher. Then, add the goat cheese along with butter, sour cream, and salt. Mash well, ensuring everything is thoroughly blended.
Step 3: Pour in the milk and mash the ingredients again until the potatoes have a creamy and smooth texture.
Step 4: Into an oven-safe casserole, spoon the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees F until the casserole has formed a golden-brown crust.
NOTES:
For this recipe, use herbed goat cheese.
Feel free to prep this casserole in advance and bake it the next day.
You are welcome to substitute goat cheese with cream cheese instead.
