Manchego Mashed Potatoes
"a la Rachael Ray-- Manchego cheese, from Spain, can be found at Trader Joe's among other markets. These are pretty darned good... I can envision sauteed leeks in the mix as well."

Mmmm... A very delectable mashed potatoes when you want to impress even if it's just yourself. Thank you. -
These were really yummy. They are the way I usually make mashed potatoes, except with the addition of the manchego cheese, which made them even more flavorful. I might not run out and buy manchego to make these potatoes, but if you already have some on hand that you are looking to use (as I often do), then this is a great recipe for that purpose. Thanks! -
You're right. They are pretty darned good. Who doesn't love mashed potatoes? These are even better with the addition of manchego cheese.
