Tips:

  • For a crispy top, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the potatoes.
  • To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, pierce them with a fork before baking. They should be tender when pierced.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure that the potatoes are in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your cheesy potatoes, such as cooked bacon, diced ham, or chopped vegetables.
  • Leftover cheesy potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potatoes are a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
