DELMONICO POTATOES

Stop what you are doing and make these Delmonico Potatoes. They are simply AMAZING. I made these last week and Chicken Legs has already requested them again this week. They are that good.

These Delmonico Potatoes are different from your everyday potato casserole. First, there is no cream of anything soup. Secondly, the potatoes are topped with a quick homemade cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is EVERYTHING! I could pour it on almost anything and love it!

These Delmonico Potatoes can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to bake them. They are perfect with everything – grilled chicken, pork chops, steaks, anything! They are also great leftover. They tastes just as good the next day for lunch!

This is our new “go-to” potato casserole for the moment. It will take a really good recipe to top this one! YUM!
