Tips for Making Cheesy Cottage Potatoes

1. Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy, all-purpose potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds, which will hold their shape well when baked. 2. Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick. 3. Parboil the potatoes: This step is essential for achieving tender, fluffy potatoes. Parboiling helps to remove excess starch and prevents the potatoes from becoming gummy. 4. Use a generous amount of cheese: The more cheese, the better! Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a more subtle flavor. 5. Add flavorful mix-ins: Don't be afraid to get creative with your cheesy cottage potatoes. Try adding chopped bacon, diced onion, or minced garlic for extra flavor. 6. Bake until golden brown: The potatoes are done baking when they are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices.

Conclusion

Cheesy cottage potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them cheesy, crispy, or loaded with mix-ins, cheesy cottage potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
