Steps:

• Place potato pieces in 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to saucepan.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. To potatoes, add whipping cream, 2 tablespoons butter, the maple syrup and salt. Mash with potato masher or electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into baking dish.
• In small bowl, mix crushed granola bars and 2 tablespoons melted butter; sprinkle over potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice peaches, leaving skin on, into 1/3" wedges; discard pits (you should have about 6 cups sliced fruit).

• Meanwhile, toss granola with oil in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle granola over fruit, then continue to bake until warmed through and golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
