Mashed potato casserole

A simple casserole made from boiled potatoes, cheese and cream. The recipe for this potato dish is good for improvisation.

Ingredients

• Potatoes (peeled and chopped) - 900 g
• Fat cream (culinary, for whipping) - 100-125 g (1/2 cup)
• Hard cheese (shredded on a grater) - 40-50 g (about 1/3 cup)
• Vegetable oil - for lubricating molds
• Salt - 1/4 tsp (taste)
• Ground black pepper - 1/8 tsp. (taste)
• Milk (optional)
• Green onions for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes, cut into small pieces and boil in lightly salted water until tender (15-20 minutes, or until tender).
2. Then drain the water and mash the potatoes in mashed potatoes with a potato grinder. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, you can add a little warm milk to make the puree fluffier.
3. Heat-resistant forms, 4-6 pieces with a volume of 280-300 ml (or one dish with a volume of about 1.5 liters), grease with vegetable oil. Place the tins on a baking sheet and fill with mashed potatoes.
4. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Beat the cream with a mixer until "soft peaks".
5. Add grated cheese to the cream, mix and put this mixture on top of the potatoes.
6. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
7. Sprinkle the cooked mashed potato casserole with chopped green onions.
8. If desired, you can add to the mashed potatoes to taste: fried onions or garlic, chopped herbs, horseradish or mustard, pieces of blue cheese or fried bacon, etc.
