Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it doesn't melt as smoothly.
  • Add some chopped bacon, cooked sausage, or diced ham to the potatoes for extra flavor.
  • Top the potatoes with bread crumbs or crushed crackers for a crispy topping.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately while they are hot and cheesy.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a side dish for a special occasion or a quick and easy weeknight meal, cheesy potatoes are a great choice.
