GRANDMA'S CHEESY POTATOES



Grandma's Cheesy Potatoes image

My grandmother makes this every year with a brisket for Christmas dinner. This is hands down my favorite potato recipe ever. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but this is optional. Garnish with chopped green onions or Italian parsley, and top with more cheese for a restaurant 'look.' I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Provided by Mebriella

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 -5 large potatoes (cut into thin french fries or enough to fill a 9Ã 13 glass baking dish)
1 pint whipping cream
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cut your potatoes into thin french fry strips, and lay the fries, in a 9×13″ glass pan. (Arctic circle or McDonald's fries type of thin!).
  • Pour all of the cream over the top of the fries.
  • Salt and pepper the potatoes very generously.
  • Sprinkle at least 2 cups grated Cheddar Cheese over the top.
  • Sprinkle Parsley flakes on top of the cheese.
  • Spray a bit of cooking spray on the side of the foil that will face the cheese. This assures that the foil won't stick to the cheese after it melts.
  • Cover with foil, and poke a fork through the top of the foil, 2 or 3 times to allow a little steam to escape. This way, your cream doesn't boil over into your oven.
  • Place your potatoes in the middle of the oven. Cook at 400 degrees for about 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • During the last 15 or 20 minutes of baking lower your rack one more step. This makes the bottom of your potatoes, brown and crispy.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven, remove the foil and eat!

CREAMY CHEESY POTATOES



Creamy Cheesy Potatoes image

Comfort food at it's best! I don't usually measure when I make this dish, so the ingredients are approximations. You may need more or less of an ingredient to suit your tastes. If you want a cheesy dish, use the cheddar cheese soup, otherwise use the cream of mushroom to use as a creamy base.
