Baked Double Cheese Mashed Potatoes

 Double Cheese Mashed Potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes with the perfect combination of Mozzarella and Parmesan and then baked.  Delicious.

Baked Double Cheese Mashed Potatoes, these have become one of our favourite baked side dishes. They go great with anything.

It’s time once again for the monthly Taste Creations Blog Hop, and this month, our food idea is Easy Side Dishes (some delicious ideas for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year)!

I have a husband who is not that crazy about potatoes.  He never liked them boiled.

Actually I kind of like the Italian way, warm boiled potatoes tossed with some olive oil and chopped parsley and a sprinkling of salt,  pretty darn good in my opinion!

As long as they are baked and a little crunchy on top he’s happy.  And sometimes he has a mad desire for Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding and Mashed Potatoes and Gravy!

Since I am always looking for some way to add some of my favourite cheese, Parmesan to recipes I thought why not bake it with some mashed potatoes.  This way everyone is happy!

My youngest liked the idea of adding some stretchy cheese, so we decided that adding some firm Mozzarella to the mix would be perfect and the Italian decided some chopped onions wouldn’t be such a bad idea either.

So if you are a mashed potato cheese lover I hope you try out this Baked Double Cheese Mashed Potatoes and let me know if you.  Buon Appetito!
