They say ‘carbs are a girl’s best friend’ and there is no argument in that. As I mentioned before there was an Italian eatery in our city that my girls and I would frequent to. One of our most indulgent orders would be this cheese mashed potatoes that came to our table bubbling with cheese, the perfect golden brown colour on top and creamy potatoes inside. I always had a large helping paired with a chili oil and English mustard. Here’s my copycat version
Psst - for the boiled potatoes I used some of the leftover potatoes of Roasted Potatoes
