I am African who just moved to Canada, so a lot of these recipes are new to me. I’ll like to mention that this is the first time I’ve ever baked potatoes. I made this recipe for thanksgiving and it was so nice that we’ve decided that it’s going to be our traditional Christmas and thanksgiving meal! The BEST potatoes ever, with a gorgeous presentation. The BEST potato dish I have ever made for Turkey Day! Not a crumb left!!!!! and I piped the top layer instread of marking with a sponn that the recipe appears to do. Also stirred in 1/3 cup mascarpone (that I had leftover) for just a little extra richness. I added 4 clovers of garlic instrad of two but we LOVE garlic. Perfect holiday potatoes.ĭelicious rich recipe. Loved these! Yes it's great you can make ahead. Also, I wasn't able to make the nice swirls like in the picture. Because I refrigerated the uncooked dish overnight I tried to bring it to room temperature before putting in the over to help ensure that it was nice and hot for dinner time. They were good, but next time I might look to add or substitute something with a little more bite like some kind of cheese. Because of the moisture, they held up well as leftovers. My family however thought that finally the potatoes were moist enough so maybe i'm just used to drier potatoes. I substituted light cream for the heavier version because I got cold feet about sooooo much fat in the dish and I wonder if that didn't contribute to a wetter quality to the dish than I was expecting. Absolute perfection! If you want to excite the normal “mashed potato” crowd in your family, these will most certainly turn them on. These are a Christmas holiday must! I substitute half and half for heavy cream, add about 1.5 cups of grated Gruyère and about a cup of grated Asiago cheese, and about a 1.5 tsp of chopped fresh thyme leaves.
