    How to Make Vermont Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

    1. Boil and Prepare Potatoes

    Boil peeled and quartered russet potatoes in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and beat in a stand mixer to let steam escape and to dry out the potatoes, about 2-3 minutes.

    2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    Add the grated Vermont aged white Cheddar, baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, a small pinch of cayenne, and a dash of grated nutmeg to the potatoes. Beat until well combined, about 1 minute.

    3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients

    Gradually mix in melted unsalted butter and heated heavy cream. Then gently beat in two lightly beaten eggs. Switch to medium speed for another 2-3 minutes, scraping down the bowl's sides.

    4. Serve or Reheat

    Serve immediately or transfer to a baking dish to reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, covered with foil. Stir before serving to fluff up the potatoes.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Cheese Selection and Addition

    Use finely grated, high-quality aged Vermont cheddar.

    Use the Right Tool

    Employ a potato masher or ricer to prevent gumminess.

    Choose the Right Potatoes

    Use high-starch potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture.

    Warm Ingredients

    Heat butter and milk for smoother incorporation.

    Dry Your Potatoes

    Let them dry out post-draining for a fluffy mash.
