Mashed Potatoes Gratin
This is a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes, or a recipe to prepare in advance, This will allow you more time for other recipe preparations.
3 cups of leftover mashed potatoes
3 eggs well beaten (to reduce the saturated fat, use 3 eggs but only 1 yolk)
1 cup of grated cheese, either Swiss or Cheddar (low fat cheese is OK)
Combine all ingredients and spread evenly in a buttered gratin dish.
On top of the potatoes, spread a little parmesan cheese (1 tbsp.) or extra cheese from the recipe above.
Cover and hold in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake.
To finish, place in a 380 degree oven for 35-45 minutes until top is golden.
Additional flavorings can be added to the potatoes, such as:
1/4 cup of chopped cooked bacon or prosciutto.
1/4 cup of chopped scallion/green onion
1/4 cup of frozen or fresh peas
1/4 cup of fresh diced tomato
1/4 cup of diced artichoke hearts or bottoms
1/2 tsp of chopped garlic
If you enjoy sour cream, garnish the top of the gratin with a tbsp of fat free sour cream.
Note: Anytime a recipe calls for a buttered dish, you can substitute olive oil to reduce additional saturated fat from your recipe.
