Irish Cheddar and Chive Smashed Potatoes

Cut potatoes into 2 inch chunks. Place in saucepan, cover with water and stir in 2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Drain potatoes, return to saucepan. Mash potatoes by hand to a coarse texture. Turn heat to low, stir milk and butter. Fold in cheese and chives and add salt and pepper to taste.
