Volcano Potatoes - Too Retro! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -5 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked, drained, and mashed
3/4 cup hot milk (approximately)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup whipping cream
salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Whip potatoes with enough hot milk to make light and fluffy, approximately 3/4 cup.
Season with salt and pepper.
Pile into greased 8-inch round baking dish, mounding into a volcano shape.
Make a crater in the center. (My mom would press a one-cup measuring cup about halfway into the potatoes, maybe a little more.).
Whip the cream, and fold in the cheese.
Pour cream and cheese mixture into the crater.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
