Notes
Recipe Tips
- Be sure to dice your potatoes into small chunks so they cook quickly and evenly.
- A large mixing bowl works best for coating the potatoes. You need that extra space to allow the potatoes to move around and get coated on all sides.
- Don't add your potatoes back to the oven to melt the cheese. By the time you add the cheese, the potatoes are done. Let their heat melt the cheese.
