Ingredients
- 1 kg floury potatoes
- 150 grams mature cheddar grated
- 50 greams butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and chop into about 5 cm biggish pieces. Place into a large saucepan, cover with water and boil until ready to fall apart.
- Drain using a colander and put the potatoes back into the saucepan. Let them stand for 5 minutes so that most of the steam disappears.
- Add in the butter, salt and milk.
- Mash until you can't see any more lumps of obvious potato. If you have a ricer then put the potato chunks through your ricer before adding the butter, milk and salt.
- Throw in 150 grams grated cheddar cheese.
- Put the saucepan back over a gentle heat for a minute whilst stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the cheese melts.
- And that my potato friends is it. The most incredible easy cheesy mash. You're so welcome.
Notes
- Using the right potatoes is key so see above for the exactly the right choice.
- Season carefully. Salt will bring out the cheesy flavour.
- Make sure your cheese is mature cheddar to get full flavour value from your cheese. Go hard or go home.
- Make sure you let your potatoes steam for five minutes after draining for full fluffiness later.
