YUMM-OH!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These potatoes were so easy to make and delicious to eat even without gravy... perfect starchy cheesy side dish! I used a... mixture of cheddar and pepper jack... the BOMB! The best part was when I made thin patties the next day with the potatoes and fried them up to make potatoe pancakes.... my family loved them so much not one patty was left over. So make sure to double the recipe to ensure you have enough for potatoe pancakes the next day =0)Read more

So simple and so good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so easy and sooo good! I made it once and paid about $18/lb for the manchego cheese and then I read the review... that said costco had the cheese for much cheaper. I just found it at costco in Michigan for $8/lb! Its worth the money~trust me. Everyone should try this recipe. Plus, I used the leftovers for potato pancakes the next morning.Read more

YUMMO!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The family raved about these potatoes! They loved the skin flecks and especially the CHEESE! I will definitely look at... Costco, however, for manchego, as our local mega-mart charged $25 per pound - YIKES! Read more

Two kinds of Manchego cheese - get the right one
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

There are 2 kinds of Manchego cheeses - aged and unaged. You want the UNAGED Manchego. The unaged is softer and will give you... the nutty flavor. The aged is much sharper and more expensive. Substitutes you might try are Monterey Jack, Mozzarella or Oaxaca. Hope this helps.Read more
