Baked Goats Cheese Scallion Mashed Potatoes

This is a rich, creamy casserole that is sure to please cheese and tater lovers. :) My sis and me came up with this as we love mashed potatoes, but wanted something a little different for a change. I hope youll enjoy it! :)

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 1 9X13 casserole

Ingredients

• 6  medium potatoes, coarsely diced (if using organic no need to peel them)
• 3  tablespoons  goat cheese (cream cheese)
• 2  tablespoons milk
• 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided)
• 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
• 3  scallions, sliced (use white and green parts)

Directions

1. Place potato cubes in a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain.
2. Return potatoes to the pot and add cream cheese and milk. Mash with a masher until rather creamy. Season with garlic, nutmeg and salt to taste.
3. Now add in HALF of the mozzarella and HALF of the cheddar cheese (meaning 1/4 cup of each). Mash a little more.
4. Add in scallions, mix well.
5. Pour mashed taters into a 9X13 baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned on top. If you like the top very brown, you can put the dish on the top rack for the last 5 minutes.
7. Enjoy!
