Description

This classic Duchess Potato Puff transforms simple instant potato flakes into a luxurious, creamy side dish. By blending rehydrated potatoes with rich butter, milk, sour cream, and sharp cheddar cheese, you create a smooth, velvety mixture that bakes up with a delightfully puffed, golden-brown top. The addition of egg helps bind the mixture, ensuring it holds its shape while maintaining a tender, fluffy interior. This dish is a fantastic shortcut for busy weeknights or holiday gatherings, offering the comforting taste of mashed potatoes with a more sophisticated presentation. It pairs beautifully with roast beef, chicken, or ham. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor, ensuring every bite is rich and satisfying.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish or baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter or margarine, and salt.
  4. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat.
  6. Immediately stir in the milk and potato flakes, mixing until well combined and smooth.
  7. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg.
  8. Add the beaten egg, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture.
  9. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  10. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top evenly.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
  12. The puff is done when the top is lightly golden brown and puffed up.
  13. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  14. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
