Reviews
what type of cheddar do you use? thanks
I made the mashed potatoes, and everybody loved it! Thanks Nancy!
Hi, Nancy! I love your rules and your show! In this recipe, you first mention one cup of milk, but as you mash, you mentioned one-half cup of milk was added. Is it one-half cup?
I made this for my husband & 3yo daughter and it was a huge hit! My mom, (who is an awesome cook), tasted it and said it was better than hers, which is a big deal haha! It was quick, easy, and delicious and will be added to our dinner rotation quite often 🙂
