7. Mix with your hand until well combined.
8. Transfer to the baking dish and pat into a 12x7" loaf, mounding it slightly in the center.
9. In a small bowl, with an electric mixer set on med.-high, whip the hot potatoes with the remaining 1 cup of cheese, the chives and the butter until fluffy.
10. Pipe or spoon on top and sides of the loaf.
11. Bake for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf registers 145.
12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
