Method

Preparation

Peeling and Chopping

Begin by peeling the potatoes with a vegetable peeler. Once peeled, chop them into small, uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.

Boiling

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Mashing and Mixing

Draining

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water using a colander and return the potatoes to the pot.

Adding Ingredients

Add the butter, milk, black pepper, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese to the drained potatoes.

Mashing

Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.

Serving

Plating

Serve the mashed potatoes warm on a plate or in a bowl. You can garnish with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
