Tillamook Buttered Suppertime Potatoes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 4-6 oz Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional for garnish
Instructions
- Peel potatoes, and cut into uniform cubes (about 1/2" - 3/4").
- Put potatoes in a pot of cold water and salt well (1-2 tablespoons).
- Bring to boil, and cook until done. It is critical to make sure not to overcook, or else they will turn to mashed potatoes. Start testing with a fork after about 8-10 minutes of boiling, depending on their size.
- Drain potatoes in a colander, and salt and pepper generously to taste. Be careful to toss gently so that they don't turn to mush.
- Gently toss in 1/2 stick of melted butter.
- Place potatoes in shallow casserole dish.
- Add freshly-grated cheese on top.
- Bake in oven or on covered grill for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
