Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease six 8-ounce ramekins with olive oil or melted butter.
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using).
Pour the cream mixture into the mashed potatoes and stir until fully combined. Fold in the chopped chives.
Divide the potato mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly puffed.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. If freezing for later, let the puddings cool completely, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing in the freezer.
To reheat a frozen potato pudding, remove the plastic wrap and cover with foil. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until heated through.
