Mashed Potatoes
Sides
Ingredients
3 large russet potatoes
2 cups finely shredded cheddar (1 bag)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon basil
Directions
Wash the potatoes in water.
Peel the potatoes, cutting off any weird chunks.
Cut the potatoes into cubes roughly 1 inch per side.
Put them in a pot, and fill with enough water to be sure all pieces are covered.
Put the pot on the stove on high.
Once the water is boiling (takes roughly 10 minutes), cook for 25 minutes.
Check if the potatoes are soft enough to mash by poking them with a spoon or a butter knife. If they mush easily, drain the water and mash them. If not, wait 5 minutes and check again.
While still on the heat, sprinkle in cheese while mixing well, mix until cheese has melted and is distributed evenly.
Add butter, salt, pepper, garlic salt, oregano, parsley, and basil and stir it all in.
