Transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl. Using a whisk or a handheld mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth and lump-free. Add 6 tablespoons salted butter and 1 cup half-and-half, and stir until well combined.

Sprinkle in 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir the potatoes until creamy and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
