Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Potato Ring Mold
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks | 2 lbs (900g) | |
| Parmesan cheese, grated | 1 cup | |
| Eggs | 2 large |
Optional Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder
Equipment
- Large pot
- Potato masher or ricer
- Mixing bowl
- Ring mold or Bundt pan
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter
Directions
Cook the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and allow them to sit for a few minutes to release excess moisture.
Mash the Potatoes
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking.
Combine the Ingredients
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
Prepare the Mold
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly grease a ring mold or Bundt pan. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared pan, pressing gently to remove air pockets and smoothing the top.
Bake
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp.
Rest
Allow the potato ring to rest for 10 minutes before unmolding. This helps it hold its shape.
Serve
Carefully invert the mold onto a serving platter and serve warm.
This simple yet elegant potato ring is proof that a few basic ingredients can create a truly memorable dish.
