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.
