Whipped Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 pound yukon potatoes, (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 pound russet potatoes, (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
• 8 ounces shredded extra sharp cheddar, (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the potatoes to a medium stockpot. Cover with cold water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes and return them back to the pot for just a minute so that any remaining water is cooked off. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

3. 3

   Heat the cream in a small saucepan over low heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk the potatoes on low speed until mashed, then alternate adding the cream and the butter, until they are fully incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the cheddar cheese and continue to whisk until the cheese has completely melted into the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and serve in a medium serving bowl.
