Cheesy Potato Spoon Bread



ingredients:
-4 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers and even instant work great)
-1 cup boining water
-1 cup flour
-3 Tablespoons butter
-1/2 teaspoon onion powder (garlic is fine too)
salt
-1/2 teaspoon white pepper (black works too, they don't taste that much different)
-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
-4 beaten eggs
Filling
-1/4 cup minced parsley (I use about 2 Tbsp. dry)
-10 ounces cream cheese
-6 ounces (3/4 cup) pepper jack cheese (any cheese is yummy)
Preheat oven 425 degrees
In a large bowl mix flour, butter, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour boing water over mixture for 1 minute. Add potatoes. Beat again. Add eggs. In seperate bowl, mix ingredients for the filling. Pour half of the potato mixture into a casserole dish (about 2 quart size or larger, I use a pyrex 2 quart covered baking dish but i don't use the lid, with this size I couldn't quite fit all the potato mixture in.) Make a well in the center and spoon in the cream cheese mixture. Pour the remaining potato mixture on top.
Bake for 1 hour
NOTE: Don't be fooled by the name Potato Spoon Bread its more like yummy mashed potatoes than bread.
