Paprika, I'd wager.

Butter & breadcrumbs, according to the recipe.
Yeah...I suppose reading the recipe in the first place might have given me a hint....still looks like paprika, which is a staple in my house. Anything pale gets dusted.

I love paprika and, as you said, anything pale gets dusted. I sometimes go through large quantities of it making paprikas and goulash.

What is that orange stuff on top??
They aren't orange & they are bread crumbs that have been darkened by the melted butter. This is not the best pic of them.

I just answered goomba so won't repeat. There is no paprika in this dish.

Not paprika but not bread crumbs either, nor is that clear slimey glop any kind of butter (butter is yellow)... in fact that doesn't look like mashed potatoes...looks lumpy enough to be cauliflower with some kinda library paste poured over... actually that looks exactly like a hospital emesis basin on a busy night... good thing we can't smell it.

I don't use paprika to "color" foods. I don't know why I don't? I just don'mt see the need, I guess? I see that the original picture is of the unbaked potatoes and whenever I bake potato dishes they tend to brown nicely which appeals to me. If I make poatoes and need to keep them warmed in the oven I top them with butter and a little bit of milk or cream. Goomba

One of my favorites uses blue cheese and carmalized onions that have a bit of port in them. --- JL
