Boil and peel the potatoes. Mix in milk, butter, and the cheese of your choice. A good combination would be 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup cheese to 6 medium sized potatoes. Then, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of herbs to the cheese mixture. Herbs that taste best are parsley, chives, onion, garlic, or oregano. Next pour the mixture over the potatoes or mash everything together depending on your preference.

Alterations include adding finely chopped vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, or squash. Or, try substituting noodles instead of potatoes.
