Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

A different and yummier version of the ol' classic Mashed Potatoes :)

Ingredients:

3 Large Russet Potatoes
1-2 slices of Cheese (e.g KRAFT Singles)
Salted Softened Butter
1/4 - 1/2 cup Milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
Chopped Celery or Spring Onion

Directions:

1) Boil large potatoes for 30-35 minutes in a saucepan with 1/2 tsp of salt. (Medium: 15-20 minutes) Test with fork and drain saucepan. (opt.: Place 2 layers of Kitchen Towelettes over the potatoes for a fluffier texture for around 5 minutes) Cool for 5 minutes. While boiling, cut up the Cheese slices into small strips and put aside.

2) Peel the potatoes, removing the eyes and sprouts. Place them in a bowl and mash them up (when still warm/hot) finely with a pair of forks.

3) Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, add in the butter and some milk and mix well. The mixture will turn out a little dry and lumpy. Pour in the rest of the milk and cheese. The potato has to be hot or else the cheese will not melt. Continue mixing till a thick batter-like consistency is formed. As the cheese cools, the potatoes will turn sticky.

4) Garnish when serving. Recommended to serve warm although chilled will be fine as well.

Serves 2 people as a main dish and 3-4 people as a side dish.
