A baked casserole of seasoned cheesy mashed potatoes

6 medium potatoes, cooked, peeled, and shredded or mashed with potato masher
2 cup shredded white american cheese*
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups milk
4 teaspoons chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Melt butter and cheese, and then add the rest of the ingredients.

2. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan or a larger if desired, garnishing with paprika if desired.

3. Bake uncovered at 350º for 30-45 minutes. Potatoes may appear runny at first, but as it cools, it thickens into a creamy, mashed potato-like consistency.

*You can experiment with different white cheeses as well, which will give it a different flavor such as Farmers, Munster, etc.

This recipe was submitted by guest chef Cheri Cross. Cheri writes, "This recipe quickly became my favorite for not having the 'same old mashed potato' flavor, but a rich, creamy, and cheesy taste."

We loved these potatoes! The recipe sounds simple (and it is!), and so we were pleasantly surprised the first time we tasted these absolutely wonderful potatoes!

We used leftover mashed potatoes, which hadn't been peeled, and we also used cheddar cheese instead of the white cheese. I garnished with some parsley flakes and paprika, which looked pretty.

The top of the potatoes became slightly dried as it baked, giving a wonderful taste and texture, while the inside was creamy and seasoned just perfectly! This is definitely on our list of new favorites! My rating: 10/10
