So I have made mashed potatoes before and I felt comfortable enough to do this on my own, no reading off a recipe! I know some of you think (sarcastically) 'oh how brave of you'. Well guess what... it is pretty brave of me. I don't do this every day. Well... these days I do, but POE-TAY-TOE POE- TAH- TOE. This turned out delish. So just sit back and enjoy!
Ingredients:
(I made this for family dinner so serves about 8)
8 medium baking potatoes (peeled and cut into 1inch chunks)
1/4 stick of melted butter
1 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Boil water (enough to cover potatoes), set potatoes in cover and set to medium for 15 - 20 minutes, Drain.
Step 2: Using masher attachment start mixing potatoes
Step 3: After potatoes have mashed up some add butter and whipping cream, mix at level 2
Step 4: Slowly add cheese and continue to mix
Step 5: Add a couple teaspoons of salt and pepper, taste and add more if desired
Tips:
* This makes A LOT of potatoes so half this recipe if you are just cooking for a family of 4.
* It's fun to add different spices and flavors to things. Read up on recipes. Ask people what they use. Ask restaurants. People love to share this information!
