A brief baked potato dish combining warm or leftover mashed potatoes with milk, salt, and grated cheese, spread into a greased pie dish, topped with additional grated cheese and dots of butter, and baked until nicely browned. While the original recipe didn't include the type of cheese to use, I'd expect that cheddar, jack or some other flavorful melty cheese would work well.
Original
Potatoes and Cheese
To one pint of mashed potatoes, add a little
salt and sweet milk. Then mix in one ounce of
grated cheese. Grease a pie dish, lay the po-
tatoes in smoothly, grate a layer of cheese over
the top, add bits of butter, and bake brown.
