Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Grits

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.

  3. 3

    Cook Grits

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

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and season with black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 5

    Peel and Cut Potatoes

    Peel the 2 large potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks.

  2. 6

    Boil Potatoes

    In a large pot, cover the potato chunks with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  3. 7

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.
