These are my famous potatoes. My husband loves when I make them and so do my 4 brothers-in-law.

These potatoes were ok but I wouldn't make them again. The taste does not justify the calories. If you do try make them make sure you cut the potatoes into SMALL cubes and watch how much butter you add. I thought it would have been better with less as they would have browned better. Read More

used some leftover baked potatoes I had in the fridge for this recipe. It turned out great. I cut potatoes in to chunks after removing the skin and followed the rest of the directions only placed mine in the microwave until heated through and WOW! A great way to use leftover baked potatoes! Thanks Read More

I didn't like this recipe very much at all. For the potatoes I used 6 Russets (I think they were); I didn't peel them (the recipe didn't specify either way) - I just scrubbed and cubed them. This was also one of the rare occasions when I use "American pasteurized process cheese spread" (generic Velveeta). The cooking time of 45 minutes was not nearly enough; at that point most of the potato cubes were still hard and a lot more time was needed. After that the taste was okay but I thought there was too much salt plus I would've liked more cheese. Still I should add that this was best the night I made it; the quality of reheated leftovers was much diminished. Sorry I wasn't very impressed with this. Read More
