Make the filling: Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15 minutes. Drain well.

Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan and set over low heat for 1 minute to steam off excess moisture. Remove from heat, then mash with the 2 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup sour cream until smooth with no lumps remaining. Fold in the shredded cheddar and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
