Mashed potatoes

A classic Thanksgiving side dish

INGREDIENTS (4 people):

• 4/6 large potatoes
• Half a cup of cream for cooking
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• Half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• A teaspoon of salt
• A pinch of nutmeg
• Black pepper

We peel the potatoes and boil them whole until they are soft

When it is possible to cross them with a knife with ease, we remove them from the water but without discarding it, which we reserve.

In a bowl, mash the potatoes that are still hot with the help of a fork, adding the warm cream, the cheddar cheese, the butter, the salt, the pinch of nutmeg and the black pepper according to our taste.

We beat well until it is creamy. If it is too thick we can add the water from the cooking of the potatoes by the spoonfuls, beating after each one of them until it is with the degree of fluidity we want.

Use the gravy recipe seen before to give mashed potatoes an extra flavor.
