Cowboy Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes.  One of my favorite comfort foods. 

Tina from Moms Crazy Cooking asked us to make mashed potato recipes today for the Crazy Cooking Challenge.

My version has the nummy butter and cheese that you love, then also piled with extra veggies to make it even more delicious and healthy.
