By lorimar80

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• Total Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
• Recipe makes 6 servings
• 1 pound of baby new potatoes
• 2 cups of grated Gruyere cheese
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Place the baby new potatoes (with skins) into a large saucepan of cold, salted water. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and bring the potatoes to a boil. Boil for about 15 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted, but potatoes do not fall apart.

3. Drain the potatoes and place them back into the pan.

4. Using a fork, roughly mash up potatoes, leaving nice big chunks.

5. Mix in the grated cheese, heavy cream, butter and black pepper.

6. Place the (oven-safe) saucepan into the oven for 10 to 20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

For individual servings: Take a foil-lined baking sheet and place 4 rings (2-inches wide) on top. Fill each ring with potato mixture and place in oven for 20-minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Using a wide spatula, transfer the ring of potatoes to each plate. Holding the edge of the hot ring with a kitchen towel, cut around the potatoes to loosen. Remove the ring and serve hot.
