Ingredients
Full cheddar mashed potatoes recipe can be found in the recipe card.
Potatoes. Use a higher-starch potato good for mashing. Depending on where you live, that could be a Russet, Yukon Gold, Maris Piper, etc. Check the packaging, it will often indicate what the potatoes are good for. Milk. I used full cream/whole milk but you can use any milk or milk substitute of your choice. Peppercorns. Fresh thyme. Bay leaf. Garlic clove. Butter. Sour cream. Crème fraîche can be substituted. Cheddar cheese. I used a strong/mature/sharp cheddar cheese. You want a cheese with loads of flavor here. Salt.

Can I make mashed potatoes ahead?
Absolutely! Mashed potatoes can be made a few hours in advance and kept covered in a pot at room temperature. Before serving, place the pot over medium heat and stir regularly until the mash is heated through.
