Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like chives or parsley, optional)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
