Sometimes you need a dish to be just like your grandma made it. These Cheesy Potatoes are straight from Grandma Twila’s kitchen. And everytime we make them everyone wants the recipe.
We have many other potato dishes we make with cream sauces and amazing different cheeses…but sometimes this hits the spot. This dish comes all wrapped up in wonderful memories. Priceless.
Boil the potatoes whole in salted water. If you use GIANT potatoes like I did just cut them in half.
*Don’t cut them up any smaller. They will become water-logged and have a different texture than we want.
Let them cool enough to be handled…peel with a butter knife. Cut them into thick slices or chunks. Place into a 9×13 baking dish and set aside.
Pour 1 can of cream of chicken soup into a mixing bowl.
Add melted butter, sour cream, salt & pepper and chopped onions if desired.
Sprinkle cheese on top of the potatoes. Spoon on the cream mixture and carefully mix with the potatoes.
**Don’t over mix…you will mix twice more while baking.
Bake until nice and bubbly.
This may not be the prettiest of side dishes but…YUM!
