 Mashed Potatoes with Sage and White Cheddar Cheese

This is an absolutely delicious recipe that you will want to try at home. For this recipe you will need 4 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut, ¼ cup butter, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage, ¾ cup whipping cream, ¾ whole milk.

You will also need 2 ¼ cups coarsely grated sharp of the white kind of cheddar cheese. Now to prepare you butter an 8-10 cup baking dish, and then cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water, as normal. Cook until the potatoes are just tender which will usually take about 12 minutes.

As you are doing this you want to be melting the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat. Add the sage, stir, wait for the butter to turn brown, and then add the cream and milk and bring to a simmer.

Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, add cream, mash potatoes, and stir in about 1 ¾ cups of the cheese now. Then you just season the potatoes with some salt and pepper lightly, and transfer to a prepared dish. Then you sprinkle the top with the rest of the cheese, and some sage, and then bake in the oven until heated through and golden brown.

This will usually take about forty-five minutes but will vary depending on the type of stove that you are using and what temperature you have it set at.
