Grits

Potatoes

Method

Grits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Grits

    Once the water is boiling, gradually whisk in the grits to avoid lumps. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Grits

    Reduce the heat to low and let the grits simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are creamy.

  4. 4

    Finish with Butter and Cheese

    Stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted. Season with black pepper to taste and serve hot.

Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.

  2. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

  3. 7

    Drain and Mash

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
