Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

How to Make Savory Potato Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  3. Add the heavy cream, melted butter, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chives, and parsley to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  4. Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly puffed.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use starchy potatoes like russets for a creamy texture.
  • Ensure the potatoes are well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle some grated cheese on top before baking.

Easy Variations

  • Add sautéed onions or leeks for a sweeter flavor.
  • Mix in cooked bacon or ham for a savory twist.
  • Substitute half the cream with sour cream for a tangy flavor.
  • Incorporate grated cheese into the mixture for a cheesy version.

What to Serve With It

  • Roast chicken or turkey
  • Grilled steak or pork chops
  • Baked fish with lemon
  • A fresh green salad
  • Steamed vegetables for a complete meal

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
