Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well when cooked and have a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the cheese sauce.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese: This will give the sauce a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes: This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes in a single layer: This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper: This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Don't skip the step of browning the butter: This adds a nutty flavor to the sauce.
  • Use a whisk to stir the sauce: This will help to prevent lumps.
  • Cook the sauce until it is thick and bubbly: This will ensure that it coats the potatoes evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when hot and fresh.
