A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, featuring a spicy kick and creamy texture.
Peel and cube the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes and garlic in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
Add a pinch of salt to the water for seasoning.
Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, then drain.
Avoid overcooking to prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged.
Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot, and mash to your desired consistency.
For a creamier texture, mash while the potatoes are still hot.
Stir in the chopped chipotle chile, cheddar cheese, milk, butter, and salt.
Adjust the seasoning to taste and add more milk if needed for creaminess.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
Stirring constantly prevents the mixture from sticking to the pot.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or additional cheese if desired.
Presentation matters; use a nice serving dish to make it more appealing.
