Add the cream cheese and sour cream then mash the potatoes.
Add the parsley, garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Stir in the flour and add the eggs, whip the mixture together until well blended.
Scoop the potatoes into mounds and place on a shallow baking dish.
Drizzle the melted butter over the mounds and garnish with a sprinkling of paprika.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe Tip
These mounds can be prepared the day before and placed in the refrigerator until time to bake.
This is a great side dish and is great with a little dollop of sour cream on top.
Enjoy!
