salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

1 Place peeled potatoes in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil until fork tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with butter spray.
3 Mash cooked potatoes using a potato masher in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Depending on consistency, add more butter or milk. Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese; mix well. Transfer mixture to prepared casserole dish.
