+hearty meal.

+
+## Instructions

+1. Peel and cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces.
+2. Put the potatoes in a pot with some water so that it covers the potatoes and

+   the bacon into little pieces and fry it.
+4. Warm up the milk and mayonnaise.
+5. Shred the cheese.

+   and mayonnaise mix, add some butter, and mash with a potato masher or a
+   blender.
