Creamy Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients
2 lbs. (about 6 medium) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3/4 cup Nestlé® Carnation® Evaporated Milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine (we recommend Land O Lakes® Butter)
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Place potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain.

2. Return potatoes to saucepan; add evaporated milk and butter. Beat with hand-held mixer until smooth. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Notes: Chopped green onions, chopped parsley or cooked, crumbled bacon may be added to mashed potatoes.
