Smokey Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

How could I have forgotten the hit of the day?   Mashed potatoes with a twist I've never tried before.  They were fabulous.  In fact they were just as good as the sample I tried in my favorite HEB grocery store in Belton, TX.   I can never have regular mashed potatotes again!

Potatos ... how many you ask?   As many as you need to feed your family is my answer.  I probably peeled 8 med. to small size russets.  Don't think it really matters.  Just peel and plop in boiling heavily salted water until fork tender.

Remove from heat, drain and rinse.

Put your spuds into a mixing bowl or back into the pot you cooked them in.
Add 1 stick of butter (none of that fake stuff either).
1 heavy cream
1 cup shredded SMOKED cheese ...  I bought it in cubes and then ran it through the food chopper.
1T kosher or sea salt (now at HEB I bought sea salt with truffles in it  ... it cost $12.99 !!! YIKES)

Beat until it is as smooth or as lumpy as you like it adding milk to the desired consistancy.

This is so yummy that I will definately do this again.
