Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Servings: 4.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 1-3 tablespoons butter
• 2 small eggs
• 1/2-1 cup hot milk
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions:

• Heat butter and milk together
• Whip potatoes in electric mixer with eggs and add half of the hot milk with seasonings
• Add remaining milk only if needed to moisten well. (Potatoes will become much softer when hot so don't allow them to become "soupy.")
• Place in greased baking dish and bake at 375 degree F oven until brown (about 30 minutes)

Try topping the potatoes with cheese the last few minutes in the oven. I do! :-) ENJOY your restaurant recipe and the company of those you share it with! - Donna
