Mashed Potatoes Ole
These mashed potatoes ole would go well with tacos or another Mexican themed dinner. Even a pit beef sandwich would taste great with these as a side!
This is a way to serve mashed potatoes that you have probably never heard of before now! I found this recipe on a container of Cheese flavored French Fried onions, to the best of my memory. Those are no longer made or sold, but you can use plain French Fried onions instead. I am sooo glad I saved this recipe!
I don’t make it very often, because I’m the only one that likes it. So when I needed to take something to a potluck dinner, I decided to make my special Mashed Potatoes Ole.
Here are the Ingredients You Will Need:
- French Fried Onions
- Instant mashed potatoes– either roasted garlic or cheese flavored will work
- salsa
- shredded cheddar or “fiesta” cheese
- sliced black olives
Make the mashed potatoes according to the package directions. I put mine in a crockpot this time since I was taking it to a potluck. But otherwise put it in a baking dish for the oven.
I added a little extra water to mine so it wouldn’t dry out since I wasn’t serving it immediately.
Add the shredded cheese. I’m also making a double batch, here.
Add dots of salsa. I did not add as much as the recipe called for, and I’m glad I didn’t.
Add sliced black olives.
Put the french fried onions on a baking sheet and bake just a few minutes until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them… they can go from golden brown to burnt pretty quickly.
I like nearly anything with cheese on it, so this was a winner for me. I understand why people may not like the combination, though.
I have a few other Mexican themed dishes that I hope you will check out, too!
