Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until fork-tender (about 10-15 minutes).

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and coarsely shred on the large holes of a grater.

Place grated potatoes in a large bowl. Stir in 2 ½ cups of the cheese and all of the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste

Transfer potato mixture to a greased 1 ½ – 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese on top.
