Extra-sharp Cheddar and buttermilk add a tangy punch to these potatoes. And, yes, we may be a bit biased, but we prefer Vermont Cheddar cheese. Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To serve, reheat in a double boiler and garnish with cheese and chives.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-1/2 -inch pieces
1 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided
3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup sliced fresh chives, divided

Steps:

Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Mash with a potato masher. Stir in 1 1/4 cups cheese until melted. Add buttermilk, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Gently fold in 3 tablespoons chives.
