Cajun Steak Bites with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes and Rich Parmesan Sauce

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.

Place the potatoes in a large pot of water, ensuring they are fully covered.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes well, then return them to the pot.

Mash the Potatoes:

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a ricer for an extra smooth texture.

While the potatoes are still hot, add the butter and salt. Stir until the butter is melted and fully incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy mashed potato mixture.

Let the Mixture Cool:

Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly until they are warm but not too hot to handle. This will help when mixing the dough.

Form the Dough:

Once the mashed potatoes are cooled, add them to a bowl.

Gradually add flour (approximately 500-600 g or 4 cups) and mix until the dough starts to come together. You may need to knead it a bit to form a smooth, elastic dough.

If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the right consistency.

Rest the Dough:

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
