Aw Maw's Potatoes



4 pounds unpeeled baking potatoes
Cooking spray
1/3 cup butter
3 cups fat-free milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, divided
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven, and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Peel and shred the potatoes. Place in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the milk, 1/2 cup cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook 8 minutes or until cheese melts, stirring occasionally. Pour over potatoes, and stir gently. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 15 minutes or until cheese melts.
