- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 pound of potatoes boiled, cooked and cooled
- Salt to taste

Then add the whole, cooked potatoes and mash with a large spoon. Turn the heat up and then add the salt and scallions.
Continue to break up the potatoes while mixing to sear on all sides.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil if the pan is dry.
Fully incorporate the cheddar cheese. Once the cheese is melted and the potatoes are warm, serve.
This recipe makes six servings.
