Put the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water, add the salt and bring to the boil. Simmer until tender when you prick them. Drain, leave to cool a little then remove the skins.
Pre heat the oven to 200C fan.
Mash the potatoes in a bowl. Add two thirds of the butter along with the beaten egg, cheese and a good grind of pepper, mix well, taste and adjust the seasoning.
Melt the remaining butter. Form the potato into egg size shapes, place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Using a pastry brush, paint the potatoes all over with the melted butter, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
