I basically have zero memories of any holiday family gathering in my lie without these cheese potatoes on the table. Sometimes there may even be two batches because we all love them. A lot. I have no idea who started this recipe, where it came from but I do know that BOTH sides of my family are big fans of these cheese potatoes.
I’m not sure which is the best part of this dish. The soft potatoes covered in a melty cheese sauce or the fried crunchy onions overtop the entire thing. Pro tip- snack on some of the crunchy fried onions while it cooks. Don’t get carried away, but I feel like it should be in the directions.
You should definitely add this to your holiday meals or even just a comfort dinner on a regular night. Not hard to make and incredibly yummy!
