Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.

Step 2

Return the potatoes to the pot, and mash with the black pepper, salt, butter, chipotle peppers, and garlic until smooth. Fold in the Cheddar cheeses, mayonnaise, heavy cream, and cilantro until the cheeses have melted.
