Baked mashed potatoes – recipe
It is not very difficult to make baked mashed potatoes. Actually, you can make the mashed potatoes as you usually do and bake it in the oven afterwards, but I think it will be more delicious and fluffy if you add eggs.
In principle, you can also bring all sorts of spices and herbs in, bacon or chopped nuts. But in the following recipe, we choose the “pure” items.

What can you serve baked mashed potatoes with?
When the delicious mashed potato is taken out of the oven, it is ready to be served. But with what? So, in reality, you can serve baked mashed potatoes along with everything you serve with ordinary mashed potatoes.
Like with ordinary mashed potatoes, it is nice with a sauce of some kind that can give a little moisture to the moss. It can be steak stroganoff, million dollar steak, ossobuco or maybe beef tenderloin.
The good thing about the baked mashed potatoes in front of the ordinary is that you can make the mash in advance, put it on the fridge and put it in the oven for about half an hour before serving. It is an advantage if you want guests for dinner. So you do not have to stand in the kitchen for longer than most necessary.
