This is a real twist on garlic potatoes with cheese. It has lots of garlic and adds a can of cheddar cheese soup for the cheese taste.
This cheesy potato recipe was shared by John from North Hatley QC, Canada, certainly a pretty part of the country. He says they are a hit any times he serves them.
Cheese, garlic and potatoes. Is there a match better than that one? It’s a hard one to beat for me. Those are three of my favorite foods.
The little secret to this recipe is that John used a can of cheddar cheese soup with his potatoes.
He used 8 potatoes, which means this will make a good batch of mashed potatoes. He adds lots of garlic (5 cloves) and the can of cheddar cheese soup.
Boil the potatoes first. Then mix it all together, season it and pop it in the oven for a bit. The recipe sounds very yummy John.
This is a handy recipe to have on hand because it can be partially made ahead. If you have the potatoes boiled and mashed you just need to add the garlic and cheddar cheese soup and put it in the oven when you are ready to eat it.
John’s recipe says to bake the dish, let it cool to dry up a bit. Once it is cool you can bake it again and slice it into pie like wedges. That sounds good but I think just eating as it comes out of the oven the first time would be good too.
Let me know what you think if you try the recipe.
