Method 5 steps
Boil potatoes until they are not quite done. If the potatoes are not completely done the resulting substance may be sliceable, although it will be easy to spread anyway.
Mash the potatoes, then stir in the soy sauce.
Mix in some margarine and cornflour. The substance should take on the consistency of peanut butter but have more the color of cheese than anything else.
Mix in any of the optional additions to add flavor to the mixture.
Press the substance into a small, round form, to give it the form of a cheddar cheese. Unmold and serve.
