  • place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and black pepper to make medium-stiff mashed potatoes; stir in the american cheese.
  • preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
  • fit a crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and fill with the potato mixture. place the top crust on the pie, roll the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal. stir the melted butter and 2 teaspoons of milk together in a small bowl, and brush the mixture all over the pie crust. cut several vent holes in the top of the crust.
  • bake the pie in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes; if the edges are getting too brown, wrap them in aluminum foil.
