Good Morning on this very misty morning!!
The recipe for today is a Cheesy Potato Bake. My word, it is perfect comfort food for weather like we are having today - cold, misty with the winter chill cutting to the bone. This dish is sure to warm your senses and fill your tummy with pure happiness!!
Ingredients:
5 medium - large potatoes
2tbs butter
3 tbs mayonnaise
2tbs chunky cottage cheese (plain)
2t English mustard
Salt & Pepper to taste
3/4 cup milk
100g Mozzarella cheese, grated
50g Cheddar cheese, grated
Cayenne pepper
Method:
Cook the potatoes whole with skin on until soft. Cut into rough chunks in a deep oven-proof dish. Put the butter all around on the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt & pepper to taste. Mix the milk, mayonnaise, english mustard and cottage cheese well and pour over the potatoes. Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dish, and then the cheddar cheese. Sprinkle lightly with a pinch of Cayenne pepper. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. It is ready when the cheddar cheese has started to turn a light brown. You will notice that the milk-mixture is still boiling - it is not too runny, don't worry. Take the dish out of the oven and leave to set for about 5 minutes. Eat as is for a comforting meal, or dish up as a side dish at a braai or dinner.
Enjoy!
