Easy Souffle

I remember my mom making this dish while growing up.

There is just something comforting in eating a family recipe.

This is also something that I can make easily and the children love it.

So it's a win, win.

We call it a potato souffle, souffle' di patate.

The recipe is simple.

Start by making your favorite mashed potato. I know everyone has one, so I am going to skip this step.

I also make a lot of it for our family of five

Once you have made the mashed potato, use part of a stick of butter to prepare your glass dish.

I like to use the small ones, to make individual portions.
Here are the steps.

1-start by covering the bottom of the Pyrex with mashed potatoes (about 1inch thick).
2-add a layer of ham (2-3 slices).
3-add a layer of cheese (I have used all kind of cheese, from American to Swiss).
4-add another layer of mashed potatoes.
5-add a little butter and use a fork to make some marks. 
(this will help with the browning of the top)

Put in the oven for 25min, at 350F to let the top brown a little.

And here it is, ready to eat.

Stay Frugal,
Daniela
