What You Need

2 lb. (900 g) Yukon gold potatoes (about 6), peeled, cut into chunks

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup shredded Cracker Barrel Old Cheddar Cheese

1/4 cup Miracle Whip Original Spread

1 green onion, sliced

Make It

COOK potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 15 to 20 min. or until tender; drain.

MASH potatoes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SPOON into microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 5 to 7 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

kraft kitchens tips

Note

Do not mash the potatoes in a nonstick pan as this could damage the nonstick surface. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, then mash potatoes as directed.

Shortcut

If you are short on time, instead of shredding the cheese, use 1/2 cup Kraft Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese.

Not bad. A change from the usual mashed potatoes but I wasn't a huge fan of the Miracle Whip tang. My son and husband seemed to like it I don't know if I'd make it again.

The only way my husband will eat mashed potatoes is if I make it like in this recipe!

Absolutely delicious - I've made it a few times but I usually increase the amount of cheese.

I found the miracle whip made it too tangy and I didn't care for the cheddar taste either. I substituted 10% cream for the milk to make it creamier but I prefer plain mashed potatoes with just salt, pepper, cream and butter instead.
