Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.

Melt margarine and cooking butter in a pot.

Sweat the pimento and onion in the melted butter until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Whisk in flour before adding milk to thicken the mixture over low heat.

Slowly whisk in the milk over medium heat to avoid clumping.

Add black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the mixture.

Taste for salt, adjusting as necessary due to the salted butter and cheese.

Add cheese to the mixture and melt it over low heat, then remove from heat once melted.

Strain the boiled potatoes and mix them into the cheese mixture, mashing some potatoes as needed.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
