Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Ingredients

Method

Directions for Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

2

Boil the Potatoes

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3

Drain and Return to Pot

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let off steam.

4

Mash the Potatoes

Add butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, and black pepper to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash until smooth and creamy.

5

Add Cheese

Stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

6

Serve

Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm.
