Extra Cheesy Chunky Potatoes

So this week is not really going to be a low carb week after all....but everything in moderation is not that bad...right?! I came up with recipe when trying to find a new way to make the potato stuffing for pierogis. Tune in tomorrow for the pierogi dough recipe that goes along with these cheesy delicious spuds.  Now this recipe is a lot stiffer than your normal mashed potatoes because I use them for stuffing. However, all you have to do is thin them out with a little milk and they will be a great addition to any main dish!! I used Cheez Wiz this time but I think I'm going to use Velveeta next time just to test the different taste profiles. Come back and I'll let you know my thoughts.


Extra Cheesy Chunky Potatoes
Ingredients:
8-10 large red potatoes
1/2 cup cheese wiz
2 cups mild cheddar cheese - shredded
1 tsp butter
salt and pepper to taste


Preparation:
1. Fill a large pot with salted water.
2. Add washed whole potatoes to the water and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
3. Cook potatoes until they are soft. I usually cook mine about 15-20 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Once cool, peel and place in a large mixing bowl and mash. **I do leave mine a little chunky but you can mash them however you prefer.
6. Add cheese wiz, cheddar cheese, butter, salt and pepper. If you want a thinner potato add milk a little at a time until you get your preferred consistency.
7. Serve or use as stuffing in pierogis.

Argentinian Red Shrimp in a White Wine Garlic Sauce

Happy Monday!! I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since I started this blog! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!!! Hope you and your family are enjoying the recipes as much as we do. I've gotten several recipes from friends that I can't wait to try and blog about. If you have a favorite recipe and pictures you'd love to share, please email or text me! 😊 My family loves shrimp so today's recipe will not disappoint. Normally I don't use wine when I cook but there are a few exceptions, red wine spaghetti and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce.  There is no need to go and buy an expensive wine to cook with. The best rule of thumb is, if you drink it you can cook with it! The alcohol in the wine will cook out and you will only be left with the flavor. I chose an orange moscato, made in Fredericksburg, because the orange flavor goes great with the garlic, butter and shrimp. You can serve this dish with either pasta, or my favorite, creamy pole...
