Cheesy Red Potato Mash
This quick and easy red potato mash is made with cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions and more.
This red potato mash is made with the same delicious toppings that are on a baked potato.
And when each ingredient is good on its own, you know it’s going to be really good when it’s mixed together.
Included in this red potato mash is sour cream, cheddar cheese and green onion.
There’s also a subtle taste of garlic from just a bit of granulated garlic that’s added for good measure.
The potatoes in this recipe have the skin left on which not only gives the dish more texture but also adds nice color to the entire dish.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Red potatoes, butter, sour cream, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, sharp cheddar cheese, and green onions

Oh, I do have a half of a white onion in my fridge… Not sure if I should use that or the sweet onions, or something else?
Hi Evan, I would use the sweet onions and dice them so they’re in smaller pieces than the green onions shown in the pictures. And actually, that might taste really good to get just a bit of delicious crunch from the onion with each bite. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hi there!
This looks so delicious, but I don’t have any green onions on hand. All I have are sweet onions… Do you think I could use those instead?
Thanks! 🙂
Oh my lanta. Your pictures make me want to grab a bite! Lol this looks awesome.
Hi Amy, so glad you like the pictures. Have a nice weekend!
