Ingredients
- 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- ½ cup butter salted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup milk I've used 2%, you can use what you have on hand
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups colby cheese shredded, divided
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded, divided
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded finely
Instructions
- Place potatoes and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are covered with water. Turn the heat to high and bring the water and potatoes to a boil. Reduce the temperature to medium, and boil the potatoes for 25 minutes. Potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the hot water from the potatoes with a colander. Place the potatoes back in the pot and mash up the potatoes with a potato masher.
- Put the butter and garlic in the pot with the hot potatoes, stirring well until the butter is melted. Add milk and sour cream, stirring until smooth.
- Add the Colby cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mix the potatoes until well combined. serve and enjoy.

Notes
- You can leave the potatoes unpeeled if you prefer, but it will change the texture of the mashed potatoes a little.
- I usually use a potato mashed, but you can also use a hand mixer right in your cooking pot on low and then medium speed. You can also place the cooked potatoes in a stand mixer on low until smooth.
