In today’s LOTRO Cooking Stream on Twitch, Olivia and I made two recipes from the game’s crafting (cooking) profession: Delicious Crispy Bacon (Tier 3: Expert recipe) and this Masterful Mash (Tier 5: Master Recipe).
Masterful Mash is a recipe viewers requested on our first cooking stream by a fellow streamer, B4, and I’m so glad we made it. This relatively simple dish uses the ingredients players must acquire in game–gold potatoes, sharp cheese, savory spices, and thyme–to make a quick and easy, “superior” breakfast dish.
Masterful Mash
Introducing my take on LOTRO's Tier 5: Master recipe, Masterful Mash ("Superior"), which uses a combination of stovetop and oven cooking to get perfect po-ta-toes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease or oil
- 2 pounds of golden potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or smoky gouda)
- 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, removed from stem
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large cast iron skillet, warm two tablespoons of bacon grease (or oil) over medium heat.
Add potatoes and stir to coat evenly in bacon grease. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to caramelize the potato skin as much as possible.
Season with Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning and thyme. Toss ½ cup cheese with potatoes and transfer to oven.
Bake potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked all the way through. Stir occasionally.
Serve with additional sprinklings of thyme and cheese as a garnish.
