1. Cook Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. 🥔💧
2. Sauté Onion: While the potatoes are cooking, melt 1/4 cup of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 🧅🧈
3. Mash Potatoes: Mash the cooked potatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup of butter, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, dried thyme, and cooked onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 🥔🧈🧀🥄🌿🧂🌶️
