1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes to ensure they cook uniformly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and creamy.
4
Add Dairy and Seasoning
Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is creamy.
5
Incorporate Cheese
Gradually add the cheddar cheese to the potato mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted and is incorporated into the potatoes.

6
Serve with Toppings
Transfer the creamy potato and cheese mixture to a serving dish. Optionally, top with chopped chives and a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavor.
