Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add the green onions and 1/2 cup Cheddar, and blend well with the potato masher, adding more of the remaining milk and butter if too dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon the potatoes into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish and bake 15 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar on top and bake an additional 15 minutes. Serve.
