Cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F.
  2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Drain and cool.
  3. When cool enough to handle, toss potatoes with olive oil on two 17 x 12-inch baking pans. Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
  4. Gently press potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smashed, each about 1/2-inch thick.
  5. Drizzle potatoes with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheddar and thyme. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are crisp around the edges. Sprinkle with chives.

In Wisconsin, we make more flavors, varieties, and styles of cheese than anywhere else in the world. We believe in tradition, producing everything from Italian classics, like parmesan and ricotta, to swiss cheese and cheddar varieties. But every Wisconsin cheesemaker is an innovator as well, which is why we have so many Wisconsin originals, like colby and muenster. Whether it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, potatoes au gratin, or a charcuterie board, Wisconsin cheese makes every dish and recipe tastier.
