The cheese in this really enhances the flavor of the potatoes. Sometimes I don't bother to peel the potatoes. It not only saves time and effort, but it adds a bit of texture and nutrition.

How To Make rich mashed potatoes

Step 1

Cook potatoes in water to cover 25 -30 minutes until tender.

While still hot, mash roughly with potato masher and add cheese. Continue to mash until cheese is well incorporated.

Mash in butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
