Directions
Duchesse Mashed Potato-Mushroom Puff, This is a fabulous recipe and one I always seem to fall back on for dinner parties. The potatoes are whipped into a creamy puree with butter, milk and eggs and are sandwiched with a yummy mushroom filling. This all bakes up into a lovely golden puff which magically disappears before all other dishes! This wonderful recipe was given to me years ago by my friend, Buzz in Toronto., This was a fun recipe. I added a little heavy cream to the mixture and made enough to fill a souffle dish so increased the amount of Gruyere cheese. This was very good. Next time I will use Machego cheese and add to ramekin dishes. Very elegant, thanks for posting., Excellent recipe and flavor! Was excited to see it “puff up” in the oven, too! I cut the recipe in half and made them in individual ramekin dishes…it made 4. Is great to pack in lunches and re-heats pretty good.
