"I enjoy entertaining and always look for recipes that can be made
ahead of time. I got this comforting potato recipe from my
mother-in-law. It's wonderful because I can prepare it the night
before. It contains basic ingredients that everyone loves like milk
and cheddar cheese." -Beverly Templeton

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

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

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

Note:

The casserole may be covered and refrigerated overnight. Allow to
stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
