Transfer the mixture into a Mixer and blend it into a smooth paste.

At the end add the grated Cheese and give a stir. Transfer it into a serving Bowl. Garnish it with Grated Cheese and Spring Onion greens. Serve hot.

Notes:
Instead of blending all the potato cubes, you may retain few for using it in the Soup
You may add some cream also to make it more rich.
