Simple and delicious. Use any kind of cheese. I added chopped onion.
Angela Cervantes
Delicious and simple to prepare. Everyone loved it. Cooking time (for me) was at least 90 minutes total, however. Perhaps my potatoes weren’t diced as small as Ree cut hers?
Rachel Gonzales

I read all the reviews before making this recipe so I did make several modifications and it turned out AMAZING.  I diced the pototoes and then par-boiled them for 5 min. I only used 6 potatoes.  I also added garlic powder and onion powder. I only needed 2 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream and then 1/2 cup of milk.  I could not find 2 of the cheeses so I used 1 1/2 of swiss, 1 1/2 of sharp white cheddar and 6 oz of an Italian blend.
