Dan's Cheesy Garlic Mash

No secret or surprise ingredients here. You'll need:

• eight potatoes


• one stick butter (8 tbsp)


• one tbsp minced garlic


• a cup or so of shredded or finely cut up cheese


• about a tbsp oil


• dash salt

1. Wash potatoes off.


2. In large pan, cut potatoes in to 8ths or smaller and boil in water with oil and salt.
   
3. Microwave or heat butter until mostly liquefied.


4. Strain potatoes and combine hot with cheese, butter and garlic in large mixing bowl. Beat on slowest setting until thoroughly combined and creamy.


5. Eat!

Notes: The salt and oil in the boiling water is family tradition, never tried without. We don't peel the potatoes here, we like the occasional texture bits but if you want em smooth you'll probably want to utilize the peeler. Cheese is optional. I've been thinking about trying swapping out some of the butter with milk... but you just know that won't taste as good.

Of course, I still make them but don't eat them often these days but I'm told they still taste wonderfully good! But really, now could they not with a table spoon of butter per potato...
