1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut Potatoes
Cut the peeled potatoes into even-sized chunks, roughly 1-2 inches in size. This will ensure they cook evenly.

3
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes by about an inch. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully drain them in a colander to remove excess water.
5
Mash Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add 3 tbs of butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Mash the mixture with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

6
Plate and Serve
Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes into a serving bowl or onto plates. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional cheese or herbs. Serve hot.
