How To Make cheesy potatoes - mccarthy style

  • Step 1
    Wash, cut into chunks, and boil potatoes. Time depends on how big of chunks you use. Do not boil them to mushiness, tho.
  • Step 2
    Drain.
  • Step 3
    Add all other ingredients to cooked potatoes, EXCEPT shredded cheddar. Mash everything together to a good consistency. (I like my mashed potatoes to be thick and chunky.)
  • Step 4
    Spread mashed potatoes in a buttered cake pan. Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a 350 degree oven until heated thru and cheese is melted. OR Cover and store in the fridge. Bake in a 350 degree over till warmed and cheese is melted, when you want to eat it. (I have never had to do this part, so I have no idea how long.)
