Baked Goats Cheese Scallion Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 medium potatoes, coarsely diced (if using organic no need to peel them)
    3 tablespoons goat cheese (cream cheese)
    2 tablespoons milk
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
    1/8 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
    1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided)
    1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
    3 scallions, sliced (use white and green parts)
Preparation
    Place potato cubes in a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain.
    Return potatoes to the pot and add cream cheese and milk. Mash with a masher until rather creamy. Season with garlic, nutmeg and salt to taste.
    Now add in HALF of the mozzarella and HALF of the cheddar cheese (meaning 1/4 cup of each). Mash a little more.
    Add in scallions, mix well.
    Pour mashed taters into a 9X13 baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
    Bake in the preheated oven at 180\u00b0C/350\u00b0F for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned on top. If you like the top very brown, you can put the dish on the top rack for the last 5 minutes.
    Enjoy!
