An old family recipe. No meal in my family is complete with out these cheesy potatoes. I’ll never forget the year when my uncle declared he did not like the cheesy potatoes and had never liked the cheesy potatoes after 30 years of eating them. We were all in shock. The only thought that came to mind was, How could you not like these? So now I leave this up to you to decide. Are you pro or anti cheesy potatoes? Tasting Guidelines: Taste is savory and cheesy. Weight is heavy but can be balanced with red wine vinegar. Texture is soft with a little crunch on top. Good for people with low treatment side effects. Best categorized as classic southern fare.
