I’m addicted to carbs! Cheesy Potatoes

  

Yes, I am totally addicted to these potatoes and so is everyone else I share them with. I make this loveliness to go with the Tangy Sloppy Joes I talked about yesterday. My friend and former co-worker Dianne shared her recipe with me. I was totally excited about it…. I never had Cheesey Potatoes until Dianne brought them to work one day for a potluck…. Ha!… That day, I primarily spent my time in the break room, eating these potatoes! And, I have been in love with them ever since.

  

You too can make this savory goodness to compliment any meat and potatoes meal. I serve them with meatballs, meatloaf, oh and the sloppy joes too! They also work really well for brunch. 

Try them out and see! 

p.s. Thanks Dianne for sharing with me!

*note 1- partially defrost the potatoes a day in advance if possible by placing the frozen potatoes in the refrigerator. If baking fully frozen potatoes they will take longer to cook.

*note 2- may substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of celery.
