Ingredients:
4 cups prepared mashed potatoes ( instant or leftovers — I use leftovers)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper, optional
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare potatoes according to package directions and place in a large bowl.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the green onions and saute until wilted.
Pour over the potatoes.
Add the garlic salt, paprika, cayenne, sour cream and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
Stir well to blend ingredients.
Taste for seasonings and add more garlic salt or cayenne accordingly.
Pour into a baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and potatoes are heated through.
