Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Melt the Butter: In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Let it melt completely until it starts to bubble gently.
-
-
Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the potatoes are almost tender and have developed a light golden-brown color. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
-
Season and Simmer: Season the potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour in the milk and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the milk is absorbed and the potatoes are fully tender. This will take an additional 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted and is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and well mixed, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness.
