vegetable mixture along with peas.

3. Heat oven to 425'F. Drain potatoes very well; return to saucepan.
With electric mixer, beat potatoes until well broken up. Gradually
beat in 1/3 C milk and remaining 1/2 t salt until mixture is smooth,
adding remaining milk, if necessary. Fold in half of cheese.

4. Turn vegetable mixture into 3-quart casserole. Spoon potatoes over
vegetables to cover completely. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake
15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are browned.
