4 pounds yellow potatoes
⅓ cup butter sliced
¾ cup to 1 cup of whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups shredded gruyere cheese 8 ounces

Instructions

Peel your potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place in a large pot of salted water.
Bring the potatoes to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain. Return the potatoes to the pot over low heat to dry.
Remove from the heat and add the butter slices.
Mash using a potato masher.
Add ¾ cup of whole milk, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and then add the cheese.
Stir just until the cheese is melted and everything is incorporated, being careful not to over mix. Add additional milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.

Notes

Storage, Make-Ahead, and Reheating

If you're making mashed potatoes ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to two days. To do this, transfer the mashed potatoes to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To reheat the mashed potatoes, gently warm them in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a bit of extra butter or cream to prevent them from becoming dry. You could also reheat them in a baking dish in the oven or even in a large skillet over medium heat.
