Please welcome my dear friend Jill McKeever of SimpleDailyRecipes.com. We’re very happy to have her share her recipe for Duchess Potatoes here in the kitchen!
Take it away Jill!
Duchess Potatoes is an old recipe taken from a book our grandmothers would have trusted and relied upon for their dining dilemmas. Made from leftover mashed potatoes, this recipe transforms cold, thick mashed spuds into a light, fluffy, hard to stop eating, side dish. My kids could not get enough Duchess Potatoes. You should have seen their faces when the oven dish was empty. Oh wait, you’ll see the same expression on your kids when you make this dish.

Looks like a wonderful side. mashed potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes, and I like how this one’s taken to another level.
THANK YOU, Jerry! ((BIG HUG))
These look and sound awesome!
This makes me wish I had some leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge. I’ll have to keep this in mind for next time.
