I don’t know about this recipe. It seems too rich with that much cream. I think I would prefer it with milk instead. Has anyone tried to substitute?
This was so delicious! Creamy and cheesy, just like I love it. Definitely going into my favorites!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s definitely a family favorite at our house too.
These potatoes are to die for! So creamy and cheesy. Definitely a crowd-pleaser.
I don’t get why people love this recipe. It felt too heavy for me. More of a side for a family gathering, not something I’d make regularly.
