How To Make Cheesy Mashed Potatoes ( Mashing Potatoes with Wooden Spatula )

Start with 3 medium sized potatoes.

Chop the potatoes evenly into small portions.

Add salt to the pot of water to help disintegrate the potatoes.

Boil the potatoes for 25 minutes until tender.

Check the potatoes after 25 minutes; they should be soft enough to smash.

Use a potato smasher (recommended) or a blender/food processor to mash the potatoes.

Add butter while smashing the potatoes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add quick melt cheese to the mashed potatoes.

Be careful not to over-smash to avoid gluey or gummy texture.

Serve the mashed potatoes on a plate.

Optionally, partner with buttered corn or potato gravy.

Sprinkle with spring onion or parsley before serving.
