Preheat oven to 400ºF. Wash, peel and dice potatoes. Boil in lightly salted water until just done, but not mushy. Drain potatoes and place in a 2 quart lightly greased casserole or baking dish.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a bit of pepper. Pour over potatoes. Top with grated cheese. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, stir in bread crumbs, mixing until coated. Sprinkle buttered crumbs over casserole. Bake until cheese melts and casserole is bubbly, about 20 - 30 minutes. Makes 6 servings
