Who wouldn't love cheesey mashed potatoes? These cheesey mashed potatoes were sooooo good and definitely cheesey. I added both cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I will definitely be making these cheesey mashed potatoes again. I love how creamy these mashed potatoes were and the flavor of the all the cheeses really stands out. Based on taste, I discovered that shredding the block of cheese yourself is so much better than the bagged pre-shredded cheese. It really does make a difference and it was really quick with my box grater (or food processer with shredding blade if you need a lot of cheese). Overall this is a great simple side dish and it went well with my Italian breaded pork chops. Enjoy!
