Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes

Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes

 

I’m all about tradition on holidays.  I tend to use my stand-by recipes, many are the same my Mom made with a few updates from me.  But this one might just make the cut!  Smoked gouda is such a good pairing with roasted garlic, and if you’re like me you keep some in the freezer for flavor emergencies. 🙂  Feel free to use russets instead of gold potatoes if that’s what you have as well.   This one is worth having for Thanksgiving or any day!

SMOKED GOUDA MASHED POTATOES

5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 stick unsalted butter (8 T), at room temperature
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded smoked gouda cheese
1/4 cup mashed roasted garlic
salt and pepper, to taste

Put potatoes in a pot and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and simmer about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Drain and put through a food mill (or mash or put through a ricer, or whip).
Put back in pot along with remaining ingredients and cook on low until everything is combines and hot.  Add more cream or milk if needed to desired consistency.
