This is one of those comfort foods my mom makes for me when I was sick as a child. I have always been sickly and had pneumonia quite a bit and had to even be home schooled for a while in 1st grade. I could manage to keep this down because it's pretty light and it made me feel special because she always made it at my request. Ingredients:
2 cups hot mashed potatoes, unseasoned |
2 eggs, separated |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
salt and pepper, to taste |
paprika, to make it look pretty |
Directions:
1. To the mashed potatoes, add the butter, milk, and the lightly-beaten egg yolks.
2. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the well-blended potato mixture.
3. Pile the mass into a well-greased baking dish. With the back of a spoon, make pretty waves (like you would a meringue) in the potatoes and sprinkle with paprika. Also, dot with extra butter, if desired.
4. Bake at 375 for 20-30 min, just until potatoes start to look a bit dried out and start to brown. Let cool a minute or two and serve.
