Living in Wisconsin, we are all practically required to be cheese lovers and while edible Door does its best to present recipes to satisfy the loveable cheesehead, here’s a suggestion from the people who know cheese the best.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 6 to 8 Serving(s)
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 4 ounces Wisconsin cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 cups (8 ounces) Wisconsin cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
- ¼ cup half and half, warmed
- 2 tablespoons chives or scallions, sliced
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Place potatoes and water in 3-quart (large) slow cooker pot. Add butter and cream cheese.
Cover and cook on HIGH 4-to-5 hours or LOW 8-to-9 hours. When potatoes are tender, mash in slow cooker pot until smooth and creamy, using potato masher or hand mixer. Stir in 1 cup cheddar, half and half, chives, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Top with remaining cheddar and cover. Cook on HIGH until cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve immediately or use the WARM setting to keep potatoes warm for up to 4 hours.
