Ingredients
- 4 lb Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the potatoes, milk, and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Strain the milk mixture from the potatoes into a bowl. Do not dump this shit out for fuck's sake it is important.
- Toss the butter in with the hot potatoes and about 1/2 cup of cream. Mash with a potato masher, adding more of the cream as needed to achieve your desired smoothness. Stir in the cheddar, chives, and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Continue seasoning with s&p to taste. Serve warm.
