Mashed Potatoes with Cheddar Cheese..

This post will be my third for Tina Hudgen's Crazy Cooking Challenge and certainly not my last. My mission was to find a tasty looking mashed potato recipe worthy of a place on any thanks giving table. I usually always stick to the basics with mash and add some butter (loads!!) cream and some type of herb but I've never really tried adding cheese. Truffle oil is another great addition but this recipe is not about the oil, it's about the mashed potato and the glorious smoked cheddar cheese that went in at the end and started to melt and become all stretchy and gooey.
I found the recipe on Behind The Bites. A great blog with a really neat instructional layout which makes following the recipes really easy. The recipe was very simple and would be a great side dish for thanks giving or really any day of the week. It has minimal ingredients but all of the right ones making this a winner for me.

Here's the recipe from Behind The Bites:

2.5 lbs of red potatoes, chopped and skins left on

1/4 Cup of butter

1 Cup of shredded cheddar cheese, use some good stuff and maximise the flavor

1 tsp of fresh minced rosemary

In a large pot boil the potatoes in water which goes about an inch over the potatoes. Add some salt and bring to a boil, simmering for about 20 minutes.

Once the potatoes are felling soft when pricked with a sharp knife, drain them and then keep them covered with a lid. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mash with a masher until soft and fluffy.

Season with salt and pepper

Serve on the side with more butter
