- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk or cream
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Boil in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly before mashing.
