How to Make Traditional English Halloween Supper Mash O Nine Sorts

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion, garlic, and leeks.
  5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and leeks and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Stir in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and milk. Cook until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the cheese sauce and gently mash until smooth and creamy.
  8. Stir in the chives and parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Carefully stir in the hidden ring (optional!).
