From Dinner
Party Cookbook, The Australian Women’s Weekly.
I was looking for vegetables to accompany
burgers; I prefer to eat my burgers without the buns even though I guess this
doesn’t make them burgers but it’s the way I like them.
About 250g of potatoes were put in the
saucepan with salted water, brought to the boil and cooked. They were then
mashed with a little butter. The mash was placed in a small greased
casserole.
An egg was beaten with half a cup of cream.
Some grated cheddar cheese was stirred in, the mixture was seasoned and then
poured over the potato mash. It went in a 180ºC oven for about half an hour
until it was golden.
This was a
different way to eat mashed potatoes. It was tasty—as mash always seems to be.
I’m not too sure about calling this a casserole which always suggests to me a
more liquid mix rather in the manner of a stew. Perhaps Potato Bake would suit
it better.
