Cheesy Mashed Potatoes!

As most of you know, I don't get my culinary skills from my mom...bless her heart! She wanted potatoes to go with her chicken & started to make instant potatoes. I had to put my foot down! These homemade cheesy mashed potatoes took about 30 min to make, from prep to completion. 

Ingredients (serving size: 4)

  • 2 large white potatoes 
  • 4 medium red potatoes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • parsley
  • chives
  • milk
  • butter
  • shredded mozarella & colby cheese
  • garlic powder

Instructions: Boil 2 quarts of water in a large pot. Peel the white potatoes completely, unlike the red potatoes. Rinse the potatoes to remove any dirt that may have been left. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch slices.  Once the water has reached a boiling point, add the potatoes and cook uncovered on high for 15min. Once done, drain all water from the potatoes. MIX INGREDIENTS IN THE POT...THE HEAT HELPS TO MELT EVERYTHING! In your pot, then add 3tbsp of butter & 1/2 cup of milk. Season with salt, pepper, parsley and cheese to your taste. Use a whisk to mash the potatoes in your pot. Once you've reached your desired taste, top with chives and serve your side dish!
