Ingredients
2 pounds Idaho or Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
- Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (for smoother mashed potatoes, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the Cheddar, dill, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper.
