Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup White cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Roasted green chilies (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1.5 inches in size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, grate the white cheddar cheese and chop the roasted green chilies. Set them aside.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them completely and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Add the butter, whole milk, and heavy cream to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the grated white cheddar cheese and chopped green chilies. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Season the mashed potatoes with ground black pepper and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
