Oven mashed potatoes

Here's a Pinterest find....and a winner, I'd say!

It's nothing new really, but making mashed potatoes into individual servings and brushing the tops with olive oil and baking them does make a difference in taste. The sides and top get a lovely crispy like crust that just tastes delicious. The pinner suggested you could add anything you'd like really. I just added bacon, onion, and cheese. You could also mash the potatoes with butter, and use butter to brush the tops,too.

It was a nice side dish with our chicken last night, and one that I will definitely be repeating often!

 Pinterest...so many great ideas!
