Ingredients

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • Butter
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Step 1: Prepare and Cook the Potatoes

Start by taking three russet potatoes and dicing them into uniform pieces.

Place the diced potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning.

Then, bring a pot of water to a boil.

Once boiling, add the diced potatoes, reduce the heat, and let them simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.

Step 2: Drain and Transfer the Potatoes

After the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes and are fork-tender, drain them well.

Transfer the drained potatoes to a mixing bowl, preparing them for mashing and seasoning.

Step 3: Add Butter, Cream, and Cheese

With the potatoes in the mixing bowl, add in warm butter, warm heavy whipping cream, and cheddar cheese.

The warmth of the butter and cream helps in mixing and creates a smoother consistency.

Step 4: Mash and Mix the Potatoes

Using a pastry cutter or a potato masher, gently mash the potatoes and incorporate the added ingredients.

Mix slowly to ensure a creamy texture.

Continue mashing until the potatoes are mashed to your desired consistency.

Step 5: Season and Serve

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Serve the mashed potatoes warm and enjoy a delicious, comforting side dish!
