Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Cheddar Cheese
Potatoes, Roasted Garlic, ½ & ½, butter, Cheddar Cheese
Ingredients:
3 pounds baking potatoes, washed, peeled, cut into 1” cubes
8 cloves of roasted garlic
½ cup half & half, hot (may need a bit more or less depending how thick you like them)
4 table spoons Butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese, more or less as you please
Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes into a pot and cover with cold water.
Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender.
Drain out the water and keep the potatoes in the pot. Place pot over low heat and gently turn the potatoes in the pot so that some of the excess water evaporates.
When the potatoes are dry, add the garlic, and mash to the desired degree of lumpiness. Add the butter and continue to mash. Add the hot half & half and continue to mash.
Stir in the butter and cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Enjoy!
