FOOD + ENTERTAINING
Peel potatoes and cut into chunks,
dropping into a pot of cold salted
water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat
slightly and simmer until potatoes are
tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well.
Lesley’s wish list
1.
Nespresso Citiz Espresso
Maker. Anyone who knows
me well knows that I am
a caffeine junkie—that’s
why I’ve always wanted an
espresso maker. Coffee is
the fuel of my busy life—
the stronger the better.
2.
Infuser Water Bottle. To offset
all that coffee, I am hoping
to get a new water bottle to
encourage me to drink more.
3.
Aberlour 10 Year Old
Single Highland Malt Scotch
Whisky. As I get older, I am
slowly getting more into
spirits. This one is especially
good this time of the winter
and perfect for any scotch
drinker on your list.
4.
Himalayan Salt Tequila
Shot Glasses, Set of Four.
To continue on my drinks
theme, I am hoping for a
set of tequila shot glasses—
beautiful and functional
because the salt is built in!
Beat in cream cheese with electric
mixer. (Work in batches if necessary,
using half the potatoes and cream cheese,
then combine.) Beat in sour cream and
milk until potatoes are fluffy. Season
to taste with salt and pepper.
Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with
nonstick cooking spray. Spread potatoes evenly in dish. Dot potatoes with
butter and sprinkle with paprika.
Cool completely, cover tightly and
refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°. Uncover potatoes and bake 30–40 minutes until
heated through and brown in spots.
