chopped parsley, chives, cracked black pepper, or melted butter(optional garnishes)
Instructions
Bring a pot with 2 quarts of water in it to a boil over high heat.
While you wait for the water to come to a boil, peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water, bring the water back to a boil, and cook for 13-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes. Add the cheese, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the warm pot. Add the cooked potatoes to the pot and mash them well with a potato masher. Taste for seasoning, adjust if needed, and transfer to a serving dish.
Alternatively, add the cheese, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the warm pot. Use a potato ricer to process the potatoes and add them directly to the warm pot on top of the cheese mixture. Stir well to blend, taste for seasoning, and adjust as needed. Transfer to a serving dish.
Serve the potatoes immediately or keep them covered with foil in a warm oven until ready to serve. Garnish immediately before serving
