Ingredients

• 500 grams starchy potatoes, peeled
• 25 grams butter
• ¼ cup cream or whole milk
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup chopped chives
• Salt and ground white pepper to taste

Method

1. Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces and cook in boiling salted water for around 12-15 minutes or until tender. Do not over cook as the potatoes will fall to pieces and make a watery mash.
2. Drain and return the potatoes in the saucepan to a very low heat. Add the butter and cream or milk, cheese, chives and mash. Beat the potatoes well with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Season to taste with salt and white pepper and serve immediately.
