Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Killer Mashed Potatoes


vegetables, potatoes

4 large potatoes -- thoroughly
1 scrubbed
1/4 cup butter -- (1/2 cube)
1 small bunch scallions -- sliced
1 tablespoon fresh horseradish
1 or prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 (or more if necessary)
1 salt
1 ground pepper

 Trim off any eyes or discolored spots from the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into quarters.  In a large saucepan, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 to30 minutes, or until soft. Drain the potatoes.  In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the scallions for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are softened but not browned.  Add the scallion mixture and the remaining ingredients to the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes to a slightly lumpy consistency. Keep the potatoes warm in an ovenproof container in a warm oven until ready to serve.  If you like, you can make this dish a day ahead. After mashing the potatoes, put them in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate. Reheat the mashed potatoes thoroughly in the microwave or in a warm oven before serving. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
