    Creamy and cheesy! The perfect way to have potatoes, these Cheesy Mashed Potatoes will make a great side dish for any meal! 

    Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

    Cheese and potatoes go together like peanut butter and jelly. It's the perfect companion and one of my favorite side dishes. Last week my parents come in into town to visit. My middle son broke his leg and they came to help me out for a while. With a a new baby I had my hands full. We all went out to dinner on night for BBQ and they had cheesy mashed potatoes. Oh man they where good! I new I just had to re-create them at home. They turned out pretty good it I do say so myself.

    What Kind of cheese should I put in mashed potatoes:

    For this recipe I added shredded cheddar cheese. It mixes and melts into the warm potatoes perfectly. I then added more shredded cheese on top as a garnish.

    How to make Cheesy Mashed Potatoes:

    This recipe is so simple and easy to make! Start by placing peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and allow to cook on medium/high until it reaches a boil. Reduce heat (medium) and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain water, turn off heat, and return to pot. Add butter and milk and start mashing. Next add sour cream, salt, pepper, and 1 cup shredded cheese. Continue to mash or use a hand mixer to get a really creamy texture. Top with remaining shredded cheese and green onions.
