> Boil and mash white potatoe. I normally don’t peel them but wasn’t sure how that would go over for you and thought peelings might be hard for Carl in ours so I did this time. I put a little basil in it. You can do garlic as well if you want as well. I also used soy milk as that is what we have here but cow’s milk is fine, too. Instant potato can be used, though I have never used instant potatoes so I don’t know how it would be.

> • Any veggies you want. You can do fresh or frozen, though frozen is obviously going to go quicker. I used a carrots, corn and peas mix I think, then added green beans. In the past I’ve also added fresh zuccini and summer squash. It’s whatever you like.

> Transfer to baking dish (the above is based on a smaller dish than I used so you may want to double some of the tomatoe, worcestershire and sugar).
>
> Drop mashed potatoes in mounds on veggie mix. Sprinkle with cheese (I used cheddar – medium)
>
> Bake uncovered in a 375 oven for 25 to 30 mins, or until heated through and cheese begins to brown (if it does!).
