This easy-to-make dish will make you want to make it again and again. Although served as a side dish, the mashed potatoes are likely to earn more compliments than a juicy piece of meat. For vegetarians, this potato and cheese dish will be a main course. Since it makes quite a lot of mashed potatoes, there's a chance you'll have some leftovers. However, the texture won't be the same when reheated, so you can try forming any leftovers into "patties" and frying them in butter.
