Ingredients

  • 3 lb russet potatoes, peeled, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (6 oz)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, place potatoes; add enough water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with fork.
  • 2
    Drain potatoes; return to saucepan. Add butter; mash with potato masher until creamy. Stir in egg yolks, salt, milk and 1 cup of the cheese. Spread potato mixture evenly in baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • 3
    Bake 30 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

  • Russet potatoes are the best choice for mashing, as red potatoes are waxy and may become pasty more easily.
