The user wants me to rewrite an existing English article about “Cheddar Mashed Potatoes”.
I need to adhere to the following instructions:
– Add an SEO-friendly `
` heading at the very top.
– Make the content SEO-friendly.
– Use fluid and simple language.
– Remove unnecessary repetitions.
– Maintain the HTML structure.
– Ensure the content is at least 900 words.
– ONLY output HTML content (no explanations/comments outside the HTML).
Let’s break this down:
1. **H1 Heading:** I’ll create a catchy, keyword-rich `
` title related to “Cheddar Mashed Potatoes.” Something like “The Ultimate Creamy Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Recipe” or “Seriously Amazing Cheddar Mashed Potatoes: Your Go-To Holiday Side.”
2. **SEO-Friendly:**
* Integrate keywords naturally: “cheddar mashed potatoes,” “creamy mashed potatoes,” “garlic mashed potatoes,” “holiday side dish,” “easy mashed potatoes recipe,” “best mashed potatoes.”
* Use `
` and `
` tags for subheadings, clearly outlining sections.
* Ensure alt text for images is descriptive and includes keywords where appropriate (though the existing alt text is already pretty good, I might refine it if needed for the expanded content).
* Expand on sections to provide more value, tips, and related information, which naturally boosts word count and covers more long-tail keywords.
* Ensure alt text for images is descriptive and includes keywords where appropriate (though the existing alt text is already pretty good, I might refine it if needed for the expanded content).
* Expand on sections to provide more value, tips, and related information, which naturally boosts word count and covers more long-tail keywords.
3. **Fluid and Simple Language:** Avoid overly complex sentences or jargon. Keep it engaging and easy to read, almost like a friendly conversation with the reader.
4. **Remove Unnecessary Repetitions:** The original content has some repetition, especially in the introduction and the recipe card. I need to consolidate and rephrase. For example, the initial `p` tag describing the potatoes is repeated in the recipe card description. The “potato queen” and “magic carpet ride” sections can be streamlined or expanded upon to be less repetitive and more impactful.
5. **Maintain HTML Structure:** I’ll use `p`, `figure`, `img`, `blockquote`, `ol`, `ul`, `h2`, `h3`, `a` tags as found in the original, and ensure they are nested correctly. I’ll also try to keep the `mv-create-card` structure for the recipe card as much as possible, as it seems to be part of a recipe plugin. I need to be careful with the `script` tag and the `span` tags with inline styles as they are likely external scripts/plugin remnants or Pinterest save buttons, and might not be essential *content*. I should generally *only* rewrite the text content while keeping the *structure* of the HTML. The `tiktok-embed` and the `mv-create-card` parts are quite specific; I’ll preserve their structure and content as much as possible, as they appear to be functional components. The `` tags at the very end with inline styles and `display: none;` are likely Pinterest “save” buttons; I should probably keep them if they are part of the original HTML, but they don’t contribute to the word count or readable content directly.
6. **At Least 900 words:** This is the biggest challenge. The original content is far less than 900 words. I will need to expand significantly on:
* **Introduction:** Make it more engaging, talk about the appeal of mashed potatoes, why cheddar makes them special.
* **Ingredients:** Elaborate on *why* certain ingredients are chosen (e.g., why russets are good, benefits of sour cream, different cheddar types).
* **Preparation Steps:** Add more detail to each step, including tips for success within the steps.
* **Tips for Success:** Expand on existing tips and add new ones (e.g., choosing potatoes, mashing vs. ricing, preventing gumminess, reheating, storage, variations).
* **Serving Suggestions:** While a list is provided, I can add a small paragraph for each, or a general paragraph on pairing.
* **Why this recipe is the BEST:** Reiterate the unique selling points.
* **Reader engagement:** Encourage comments, shares, etc. (already present in the recipe card, but I can add more to the main body).
7. **SADECE HTML İÇERİĞİ üret:** No introductory or concluding remarks, just the raw HTML.
