It's tradition in our family that once a recipe is bestowed upon you - you add one ingredient to make it yours. My grandmother added the paprika and passed this recipe on to my mom. My mom added the bacon and when mom passed it on to me, I added the green chilies. This one is a must-make for your next gathering.

QUICK CHEESY POTATOES



Quick Cheesy Potatoes image

Make and share this Quick Cheesy Potatoes recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Graybert

Categories     Potato

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium potatoes, sliced
1 medium onion, quartered
10 ounces cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb medium cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Placed sliced potatoes in a buttered 3 litte casserole dish.
  • Put remaining ingredients into a blender.
  • Blend smooth.
  • Pour over potatoes and cover.
  • Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for cheesy potatoes because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may break down more easily.
  • Use fresh, grated cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. For the best results, grate your own cheese from a block.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked through but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Cheesy potatoes are a blank canvas for your favorite toppings. Try adding crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or diced tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both comforting and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cheesy potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
