Redneck Epicurean

By: Redneck Epicurean
Nov 3, 2005

This is one of those comfort foods my mom makes for me when I was sick as a child. I have always been "sickly" and had pneumonia quite a bit and had to even be home schooled for a while in 1st grade. I could manage to keep this down because it's pretty light and it made me feel special because she always made it at my request.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    To the mashed potatoes, add the butter, milk, and the lightly-beaten egg yolks.
  2. 2
    Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the well-blended potato mixture.
  3. 3
    Pile the mass into a well-greased baking dish. With the back of a spoon, make pretty waves (like you would a meringue) in the potatoes and sprinkle with paprika. Also, dot with extra butter, if desired.
  4. 4
    Bake at 375 for 20-30 min, just until potatoes start to look a bit dried out and start to brown. Let cool a minute or two and serve.

Very good just as it is. Easy to dress up this recipe by adding little extras like your favorite cheese or spice. I made them in individual baking cups for my family with each one seasoned the way they wanted.

    Like luxury mashed potatoes! Besides salt and pepper I added freshly grated nutmeg to the potatoes. A very attractive potato dish..but you must serve it immediatly because it will sink a bit.

    These are light and fluffy, and totally tasty! I added about 2 Tbsps. roasted garlic to the mix, and really liked it. This would be a good dish for any holiday because it's so easy to prepare.
