Cheesy Potato Casserole

6 medium potatoes
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mild cheddar cheese
½ cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. salt

Cook potatoes in boiling salted water about 30 minutes or until just tender. Chill. Peel and grate potatoes. Combine cheese, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan; cook over low heat until butter and cheese melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream, onion, salt, and pepper. Fold cheese mixture into potatoes. Pour into a greased 2-quart casserole; dot with butter, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Yields 6 servings.
