Tip
If you want to go all out and make this recipe look amazing, use a wide cake decorating tip to make pretty fluted piles of the potatoes before baking (as in the photo above).
If you are more like me, baking it in the casserole dish is just fine.
Either way it is a great way to prepare mashed potatoes to look a bit “grander” for entertaining.
