Ingredients

6 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
0.25 cup butter
0.25 cup milk, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cup shredded American cheese
pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for 1 to 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and black pepper to make medium-stiff mashed potatoes; stir in cheese.
Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 3

Fit a crust into a 9-inch pie dish and fill with potato mixture. Place the top crust on pie, roll the edges together, and crimp with a fork to seal.
Step 4

Stir together 2 teaspoons melted butter and 2 teaspoons milk in a small bowl until well combined; brush over crust. Cut several vent holes in the top of crust.
Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes; if the edges are getting too brown, wrap them in aluminum foil.

Enjoy your meal!
