Tillamook Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Tillamook Cheddar cheese gives depth and richness to traditional mashed potatoes. Feel free to substitute lower-fat milk and cheese to suit your diet. The dish won't be quite as luscious, but still very good.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. russet potatoes
- 3/4 to 1 c. hot milk
- 2 T. butter
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 c. Tillamook Extra-Sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 T. chives chopped
Instructions
- Peel potatoes cut into chunks, and cooked until tender. Drain cooked potatoes well and return to the pot. Add milk, butter, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mash. (I like 'em lumpy)
- Gently stir in cheddar cheese. Pour into serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
- Cook's Note: Recipe is easily multiplied for larger crowds.
