Homemade mashed potatoes - updated

I used to be a manic on mashed potatoes made from dried potato powder. I would literally eat this at least 5 times per week, for like 5 years of my life. Since that time, my cooking has apparently advanced (and became significantly healthier), so nowadays I make homemade mashed potatoes, that taste amazingly (according to other sources as well :D)! Here's my recipe: 

Time you'll need to make this: 40 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!

Ingredients (for 2 portions):

-2 big potatoes
- olive oil
- veggie broth cube
- salt
- black pepper
- turmeric
- oregano
- butter
- low fat milk (about 1 small cup - optional)
- low fat melting cheese or parmesan, ground
- a clove of garlic
- water

How to make it:

1. Peel and wash the potatoes, then chop them in medium cubes and add them in a cooking pot filled with water.
2. Add 2 rounds of olive oil, the broth cube, the clove of garlic and half a teaspoon of salt, and let it all boil until the potatoes are very soft (they should separate very easily with small pressure from a fork). Stir a few times while boiling.
3. When done, drain them, and mash them with a fork or a large spoon. Add 2 spoons of butter, and spice the mash with a bit more salt (i added half a teaspoon again - depends how salty you want it), pepper, turmeric and oregano. I only add a bit of spices, but it depends solely on how strong flavor you want. Stir everything very well until the butter has melted and the spices are all around.
4. This is optional, but I tried it when I wanted to make a larger amount of mashed potatoes, and it gave a very nice taste to the mix, while softening the mash. Warm up the milk a bit and add it to your mix, stirring well so that it goes all around. You can add as much as you want, or not at all, depending on how soft you'd like your mix to be.
5. Add the cheese while the mash is still very hot, so that it will melt and mix nicely with the rest of the mixture. Stir well until everything is one single mix.
6. Serve warm as sides to pretty much any meal! :)
