How to Make Irish Cheddar And Chive Smashed Potatoes
- Cut 2 pounds of potatoes into 2-inch chunks.
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and stir in 2 teaspoons of salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the saucepan.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes to a coarse texture. Leave some chunks for added texture.
- Turn heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy.
- Fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
