Ingredients

4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
3 cups Daiya Cutting Board Shreds, blend of Mozzarella and Cheddar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 11x7 or similarly sized casserole dish and set aside.
In a large stockpot bring 6 cups of water to boil. Add cubed potatoes and boil until soft, about 15 minutes. Time will depend on how large your pieces are. Potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the water through a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Let cool for a few minutes.
Lightly mashed the potatoes with a potato masher. Once most of the big chunks have broken down, add the remaining ingredients and whip together with a handheld mixer.
Transfer to the casserole dish. Top with extra shreds, if desired. Cover with tin foil and bake for 40 minutes until the potatoes are heated all the way through and the top has melted. Serve warm.

Notes
