This Creamy and Oh-So Cheesy Mashed Potato recipe is one I whip up when I'm wanting to switch things up a bit on roast night. Because let's face facts, anything potatoes AND cheese is always a good idea, isn't it?!

Instructions
- 01
Cut all the potatoes into roughly the same size. (I normally aim for a 4cm square rough chop.) In a large pot, place the potatoes and enough cold water to cover them. Pop on the stove and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until potatoes are fork tender, and cooked through. Usually around 30-40 minutes.
- 02
While the potatoes are boiling, warm the milk in a small saucepan til hot, but not boiling. Pop it aside.
- 03
Remove the cooked potatoes from the stove and drain of water. Mash the potatoes and add the butter. Stir it through till melted and incorporate it into the potato along with the hot milk. Stir until the potato has absorbed the milk.
- 04
Add the grated cheeses to the potato mixture. Give it a stir to let the cheeses melt. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.

Additions & Substitutions
- Add a little pan-fried, diced bacon to the mix, because bacon bits make everything taste good, don’t they?!
- You swap out the heavy cream for equal quantities of sour cream.
- Add your favorite greens for a cheesy version of colcannon. Think spring green onions, kale, English spinach, or some cooked cabbage.
- Garlic lovers, feel free to add a little garlic or black garlic, or if you’ve got any fresh herbs in the garden, some thyme or parsley are great additions.
