Freshly shredded (this takes about 3 minutes) 2 tablespoons 1/2 and 1/2, cream, or milk 1 tablespoon salted butter. Directions Take enough baked potatoes to make about 2 cups after skinning. Mash fairly well (takes about 2 minutes). Pour in milk and butter. Do not need to mix. Put in Microwave for 3 minutes. While tater mix is heating, shred 1 1/2 cups MEDIUM cheddar cheese (the tang from the medium cheese melds with the smooth flavor of the taters = really yummy). When tater mix is heated through, add shredded cheese, and mix well with a heavy spoon (cooking spoon does fine). Makes 4 servings of just over 1/2 cup each.
