Cheesy Potatoes

These Cheesy Potatoes are absolutely drowning in cheese sauce! It doesn’t get any better than potatoes and cheese, especially when the ratio of potatoes to cheese is heavy on the cheese.

Two Kinds Of Cheese

A combination of velveeta cheese plus some cheddar cheese sprinkled on top gives these Cheesy Potatoes plenty of cheese flavor.

Sherry says “Closest thing to what my mother always made. She never left a recipe so I searched and found this recipe. I add parsley flakes for color.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

How To Make

The potatoes are first boiled until tender. Peel them and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Once tender, drain them well and place them in a baking dish.

Make a quick roux with butter and flour, whisking in some milk and seasoning with seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add some cubed velveeta cheese and stir until smooth. Then pour the mixture over the potatoes.

Sprinkle with cheddar and bake for 20 minutes.

Type Of Potatoes To Use

You can use any type of potato. I use russet.

Make Them Spicy

If you want this dish to be spicy, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

How To Serve

Cheesy Potatoes go great really well with any type of pork or beef and they’re very filling so they’re perfect for when you have a few extra people at your dinner table.

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
