Melt butter (or margarine) in a frying pan and toss the toast cubes in the butter, then add the mashed potatoes and heat through. Very tasty!

April 21, 2015 at 5:52 amJust wanted to let you know my hubby loves my “cheesy potatoes” but I take the easy way.
Make and mash potatoes a dollop of butter, add cheese whiz ( I like lots, but you do it to the way you like it), then add about a cup of frozen peas. The heat from the potatoes thaws the peas and it is just like having fresh picked uncooked peas in the cheesy potatoes. I don’t make this often now because the cheese whiz has gone up so much in price. Am still looking for a good quick cheese sauce to make up that has a similar taste.
But when cheese whiz goes on sale ( or we are having guests) and I want a simple punch to the meal then this fits the bill.
