Cheese Potato Puff

I like that this can be made ahead of time.  If I want it for dinner Sunday noon, I can make it Saturday and refrigerate it overnight.  Then Sunday I just need to pop it in the oven.  

Cheese Potato Puff

Ingredients

12 medium potatoes, peeled (about 5 lbs)
1 tsp salt, divided
3/4 cup butter, cubed
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
Minced chives, optional

Directions

Place potatoes in a large kettle; cover with water.  Add 1/2 tsp. salt;  cook until tender.  Drain; mash potatoes until smooth.

In a large saucepan, cook and stir the butter, cheese, milk and remaining salt until smooth.  Stir into potatoes; fold in eggs.  Pour into a greased 3 quart baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.  Sprinkle with chives if desired.
