Using a little (or a lot) of cheese is one of my favourite ways to jazz up potatoes. It may seem over the top, but these cheesy mashed potatoes are made with cream and butter so they’re guaranteed to be amazingly smooth!
Cheese is mashed right into the potatoes and then sprinkled on top to make things extra melty after they’re finished off in the oven. When it comes to cheese selection I like to blend cheddar and Swiss because the cheddar adds a nice bite and the Swiss adds extra gooeyness. That being said, you can sub these for any of your fave cheeses!
