5 lbs potatoes (whichever you like, I used red potatoes this time)
1-2 sticks butter (I usually only use 1 but this time I needed 2)
1 lbs Cheese (usually use Velveeta type cheese)
1 block cream cheese (optional)
milk
salt & pepper
1. Peel and chop potatoes. the smaller you cut them the faster they cook. And put them in a big pot of water to boil. I usually put in a lot of water, enough to cover them completely cover them with room to spare.
2. When the potatoes are tender, you can smash the against the side easily, Drain the excess water. I don't always completly drain them I leave some that I can still see it around the potatoes. This makes the mashing easier.
3. Add 1 stick of butter and mash. you may need the second stick to help the mashing. I like to leave a few chunks so mash to desired texture.
4. add milk to desired consistency, it would be ok to add more than you think is necessary it will thicken up later.
5. chop and add cheese, I usually chop them while waiting on the potatoes. stir until melted.
6. salt and pepper to taste and serve.
