  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  4. Fold in the cooked potatoes until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Notes

  • Add diced jalapeños or green chilies for a spicy version.
  • Mix in cooked vegetables like broccoli, peas, or mushrooms for added nutrition.
  • Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Colby, or pepper jack.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Reheat gently with added sour cream or milk if needed.
