Caffeyole Smashed Potato & Tuber Dish

Hi🙋🏻‍♀️

Holiday cooking is super fun and look forward to it yearly.
I hope you too find joy making this dish for your family and friends. If you do, then you’ve come to the right place my fellow earthlings!

*for the sake of this recipe I use the word ‘potatoes’ to include tubers and roots👌🏽.

Utensils you’ll need:

Large pot to boil potatoes filled with water up to 3/4s leaving enough space for potatoes

Colander

Large bowl to smash the potatoes when done

A potato smasher

Medium bowl to combine the sour cream mix

13 x 9 x 3 inch casserole baking dish
*might need an extra baking dish to accommodate excess potatoes

Ingredients:

2-3 lbs Red potatoes cut square into bite sized cubes

2 lbs Sweet potatoes cut square into bite sized cubes

1 lb Celeriac cut square into bite sized cubes

1 lb Turnips cut square into bite sized cubes

3 tsp pink salt from Costco (use what you have just be cautious if using small gradual salt)

1 c Kirkland Bacon bits

1.5 Tsp Dry Oregano

2 Tbsp Fresh rosemary finely chopped

1 c yellow onion diced small
*I use whatever I have in the house

-Cracked black pepper to taste

2 c Sour cream —lite if you’d prefer

1 brick cream cheese softened

1.5 c Gruyère cheese grated
*put 1/2 cup aside to sprinkle over to before putting in oven

1/2 c unsalted butter softened
*extra butter for buttering baking dish

1 c milk warmed
*I use low fat Lactaid

1/2 c Green onion diced
*for sprinkling over top once ready to serve

Boil potatoes until fork tender approximately 30 minutes as there are a lot to boil.

NEXT

When potatoes are done/fork tender, drain
(Save a cup or so of the potato water. You can keep it all and make a soup with it later👌🏽)

Smash potatoes but not too smooth; we want chunky potatoes hence smashed potatoes
*taste make sure potatoes are salted to your liking

Next

In medium bowl add all dairy (except 1/2 cup of Gruyère) listed and nuke a few seconds so that it mixes easily with smashed potatoes.
Stir until ingredients are incorporated

Next Add

Herbs, spices, bacon bits, and white onion.
Mix in but keep from mashing potato mix too much. I use two large spoons👌🏽

Next

Place potato mixture into a buttered baking dish and bake on middle rack for 30 minutes at 350°F
Then raise to top rack for additional 15 minutes.
*check make sure cheese is bubbly and browning.

Before serving, sprinkle top with green onion and perhaps extra bacon bits.

Enjoy and eat up!

Caffeyole Iceberg Lettuce Salad

From time to time we end up with a head of iceberg lettuce and wonder what can be created with it other than the common uses.

These are the moments in my life that inspire new creations; here is my latest recipe:

April 14th, 2025 M [0901]

What you will need:

Large pretty glass bowl for salad

Small bowl for dressing

Tongs or Salad Tossers

Lettuce Spinner

Ingredients:

1 Head of Iceberg lettuce chopped into bite size pieces, wash and spin until no more liquid is released.

1 Cucumber peeled cored and chopped into bite size pieces

1 Carrot shredded

1 small can sliced Black Olives

1 cup Cherry tomatoes quartered

1/2 cup Bacon Bits

1/2 cup Stilton cheese crumbled

Pinch of Salt -to taste

17 cracks of Black pepper

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Plain yogurt

1/4 cup Dark Balsamic vinegar

Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Place dressing ingredients in small bowl and mix well until balsamic vinegar is blended in well. I use a spoon or fork. Set dressing aside.

When you are ready to serve salad, in the large bowl add all the vegetables and toss well. Then add half the dressing and toss salad for no less than one minute.

Add more dressing or all of it depending on how coated you want it. I put any leftover dressing in a ramekin and place on table.

Finish off the salad by sprinkling salt and pepper over the top. Viola!

Thanks for stopping by Caffeyole today.

Have a great cooking day and Eat Up!
