**Double Cheese Potato Tart**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
– 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
– 1/2 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large pot, boil the peeled and cubed potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
3. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until smooth. Add in the milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine until you have creamy mashed potatoes. Set aside.
4. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking sheet. Place the rolled pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Spread the creamy mashed potatoes evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and gruyere cheeses over the mashed potatoes, covering the entire surface.
7. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the potato and cheese filling, creating a rustic tart shape.
8. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
10. Remove the Double Cheese Potato Tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh chopped chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
11. Slice and serve warm, allowing the oozy cheese and creamy potatoes to tantalize your taste buds with every bite.
