Ingredients
- 6 cups (3 pounds) peeled and 1-inch cubed Yukon gold potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil + more for serving
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1 ¼ cup shredded aged Gouda
- Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add potatoes and cook, partially covered until potatoes are tender (a paring knife can easily slip in and out of potato chunks), about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and return to pot; cook over medium heat, stirring to remove extra moisture, 1–2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in oil; lightly mash mixture. Add milk and continue to mash until desired consistency is reached; stir in cheese by handful until melted and incorporated. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and white pepper. Season to taste with additional salt as needed.
- Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with chives and drizzle with olive oil.
Notes
Keep potatoes warm over low heat on the stove top or in a slow cooker, stirring occasionally. Add additional milk as needed.
