On the blog today is a recipe that is so simple that even my mom can make it! Don’t worry, my mother fully admits to not being a huge fan of cooking. Growing up we were treated with such delights burnt cookies even the dogs couldn’t get off the pan, frozen pizza that regularly set off the fire alarm and once, a grilled cheese… without the cheese.

When it comes to cheesy potatoes, however, there are none better than hers! We call it her specialty and can count on her to prepare it as often as we ask for it, which is often!

This is a great recipe to have stashed away for both school nights and get togethers. Most of the ingredients are things you already have in your refrigerator and pantry. Again, it is so easy! Throw everything in a big bowl, mix it up, scoop into a 9×13 and pop in the oven!

This side dish goes well with really anything, we like it best served with ham!
