Steps:
- BOIL: Place the peeled potatoes in a large dutch oven. Add cold water to the pot so that the water rises about 2 inches above the potatoes. Add a tablespoon of salt along with the peeled garlic cloves. Turn the heat on to the highest setting and allow the potatoes to reach a boil. Then, turn it down so that it simmers but doesn't boil over. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until a fork pierces through the potatoes very easily.
- MASH OR RICE: Drain the potatoes and garlic cloves, but don't rinse them! Using a ricer, rice the potatoes/garlic cloves into the dutch oven. If you don't have a ricer, add them back to the same dutch oven and use a masher to mash the potatoes. Add the cubed butter and stir to combine. Let the butter melt into the potatoes. Then add sour cream, cheddar cheese, and combine using a rubber spatula.
- MASHED POTATOES: Add 1/3 cup of half and half and stir to combine. Continue adding a few tablespoons of half and half until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. I needed the full 2/3 cup. If at any point the cheese isn't melting into the potatoes, you can kick the stove onto the lowest heat setting, this will help heat the pan just enough so everything combines. Taste and adjust with salt and white pepper as desired. Remove to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives!

VERMONT CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES
To some, Cheddar is synonymous with Vermont, even if it is produced in several other states, too. For most, mashed potatoes are an absolute essential for a proper Thanksgiving table. Combining them seems natural, whether customary or not. Using two-year-old aged Vermont Cheddar, which is deeply flavored but not too sharp, gives these creamy mashed potatoes a subtle Cheddar presence, neither overwhelmingly cheesy nor gooey.

Steps:
- Boil potatoes in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well in a colander and place in the bowl of a stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes to allow steam to escape.
- Turn off mixer and add cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Beat again for a minute or so.
- Add butter and cream, mixing slowly, then increase speed to medium and drizzle in beaten eggs. Stop and scrape down bowl with rubber spatula to make sure ingredients are incorporated evenly. Beat at medium-high speed until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately in a heated bowl. Alternatively, transfer potatoes to a 2-quart baking dish, cover with foil and let stand at room temperature. Reheat for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees, until piping hot. (If you want the top browned, remove foil halfway through baking. Otherwise give the potatoes a stir before serving.)

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and boil whole until tender, approximately 45 minutes. Drain and mash.

Add salt and pepper and graualy add grated cheese, stirring, constantly. Allow cheese to melt and pour over mashed potatoes. Beat potatoes to desired consistency.
Tips:
- For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which helps them to become smooth and fluffy when mashed.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces before boiling. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water. The salt will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or a food processor.
- Add warm milk, butter, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined. The milk and butter will help to make the potatoes creamy and flavorful, while the seasonings will add depth of flavor.
- If you are using cheese in your mashed potatoes, stir it in until melted and well combined.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.
Conclusion:
The perfect mashed potatoes are creamy, fluffy, and flavorful. They are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. Follow these tips to make the best mashed potatoes every time.
