Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese hand grated
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • pinch of salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 4 oz diced pimentos drained
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2 whole potatoes cooked until fork tender
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the cheeses, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic, and pimentos to a small mixing bowl. Use a fork, and carefully stir and blend the mixture together. Make sure everything is combined.
  • Grab a cracker, and spread some of that delicious pimento cheese on top. Eat. Now you have to back away, otherwise you may attempt to eat that entire bowl. Cover and place into the refrigerator until you are ready to use for the potatoes.
  • You have a couple of options with your potatoes. Put them into the microwave for about 9 minutes, or place them into a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes. It’s your call. The goal however is to get them to be fork tender.
  • Once they are fork tender, remove them and let them cool slightly.
  • Take a knife, and carefully cut around the top of the potato. Repeat with the other one. Take the tops off and scrape any potato into a bowl. Use a spoon and scrape out the insides of each potato, being careful not to tear the skin.
  • To the potato mixture, add the butter, and milk. Use a fork or whisk, and mash the potato mixture. Now you are ready for the pimento cheese!
  • Add the potato mixture back into each potato. Generously top each potato with heaping tablespoons of the pimento cheese.
  • Place these onto a baking sheet, and place into a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese mixture is nice and bubbly.
  • Dig in!
