Savory Cheesy Mashed Potatoes & Ham Cubes: A Comfort Food Classic

Ingredients

  • 5 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • A generous cup of rich butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of aromatic garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of fragrant dried parsley
  • 1 ½ cups of deliciously melted shredded Cheddar cheese
  • A satisfying pound of succulent cubed cooked ham

Step 1

Start by gently placing the humble potatoes into a generously sized pot and be sure to cover them with water that has been sprinkled with a pinch of salt. Allow the water to dance and sing as you bring it to a lively boil. Once at a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle medium-low setting and let the potatoes simmer away until they are tender and welcoming, which should take roughly 20 minutes.

Step 2

Once the potatoes are feeling soft and cozy, bid farewell to the excess water and lovingly transfer them to a waiting bowl. To make these potatoes truly shine, introduce them to a dollop of butter, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and a handful of freshly chopped parsley. Grab your trusty potato masher and give the mixture a good mash, infusing it with all those delightful flavors.

Step 3

But wait, we're not done yet! It's time to introduce some more characters to this delicious tale. Add in some sharp Cheddar cheese for a creamy richness, and don't forget about the savory ham to bring a touch of saltiness and depth. Give it all a good stir, allowing the ingredients to mingle and dance together in perfect harmony.
