Cheesy, Chunky, Mashed Potatoes


This is a side dish that I am 150% positive that you will love!

Ingredients
10 baby red potatoes 
2 cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups of a good parmesan cheese
2/3 cup of chopped parsley
4 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

Start off by boiling the potatoes in salted water. The reason I like to salt my water is flavors and automatically absorbed into the potatoes (or any starch for that matter). Once the potatoes are boiled (you'll know when you can stick a fork through them with no resistance) put them into the bowl with all of the ingredients. I like to leave the skins on for two reasons. 1) I like the color it adds to the dish and 2) the skins hold the most nutrients. One last tip, I like to mash them only slightly so there are still chunks of potatoes left however, its your call. Enjoy!!!
