   • Peel and cube the baking potatoes. Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place both in a large saucepan filled with salted water.

5. Add Cheese:

   • Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the mashed potato and cauliflower mixture. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and well incorporated.
