Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and diced
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Peel and dice the russet potatoes; chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Sauté onions and garlic: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add onions and garlic; sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add potatoes and broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Mash it up: Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash some of the potatoes while leaving others chunky for texture.
- Add cream and cheese: Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Season and serve: Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Ladle into bowls while hot—garnish with extra cheese if desired.
