Best Sandys Holiday Mashed Potato Casserole Recipes

CHANTILLY MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a pot, cover with fresh, cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, testing by poking potatoes with a knife. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes but could be between 15 and 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let drain in a colander for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer into a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until no lumps remain. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese. Mix and mash until everything has been incorporated.
• Add cayenne, 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, and mash until well combined. Taste and adjust for salt.
• Whisk cream in a metal bowl until thick and fairly stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the whipped cream onto the potatoes and cut it in with the side of a spatula to lighten the mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream but do it carefully to preserve the maximum amount of volume, cutting in until just barely mixed.
• Transfer into a well-buttered casserole dish and distribute gently with a fork. Smooth the top with a spoon if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and dust lightly with cayenne.
• Place the baking dish on a pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

HOLIDAY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Beat hot potatoes until all lumps are removed.
• Add cream cheese (in small pieces) and the butter.
• Beat well until cheese and butter are completely melted and mixed.
• Stir in sour cream.
• Add eggs and onion to milk and add this to the potatoes with salt and pepper.
• Beat until light and fluffy.
• Place in a greased 9-inch casserole.
• Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until lightly rounded on top (puffy).

SANDY'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the eggs, celery, relish and onions.
• Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and sugar in a small bowl. Slowly pour the mayonnaise mixture into the potatoes - don't put it all at once - and mix together until moist. You might not use all of the 2 cups of the mayonnaise mixture (it depends on the potatoes). Add salt and pepper to taste.

SUNNY'S MOMMY'S SAGE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with the butter; set aside.
• In a saucepot on medium heat, add the heavy cream, sage, garlic and a pinch of salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the cream becomes fragrant with the scent of sage, about 10 minutes.
• Layer the potatoes in the prepared dish. Add each slice by overlapping the previous slice by a bit and continue this pattern in a row or create a spiral. Once the first layer is done, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper. Repeat the next layers by doing the same. Once the layers are complete, strain out the sage leaves and garlic from the heavy cream and pour the cream over the dish. Allow the cream to settle into the dish, picking it up a little bit off the counter, then dropping it to tap the air out. Then, sprinkle with the cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes; remove the cover and bake until the cheese is golden, about 15 more minutes.
