Cheesy potatoes: what are they?
Potatoes that have been baked in a creamy cheese sauce after being cooked until tender are known as cheesy potatoes. The top of the potato casserole turns golden and wonderful as it gets heated and bubbling. Similar to scalloped potatoes, but with diced potatoes and a richer sauce, are cheesy potatoes. Plus, they're so much simpler to make!
Many cheesy potato recipes utilize canned condensed soup as the base, but it's easy and far more delicious to make your own cheese sauce.
Process
Preheat oven to 350°F. Potatoes should be peeled and cut into 1.5–2 inch slices. Put in a pot and pour cold water over it. After adding a small teaspoon of salt, increase the heat to medium-high, cover, and simmer for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Make sure to drain well.
Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Once the butter has melted, blend in the flour, dry mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
While whisking, slowly pour the milk into the pan until it becomes smooth. Continue stirring periodically over medium heat for three to five minutes, or until the sauce bubbles and thickens. When the sour cream and half of the shredded cheddar are added, mix until they are melted and creamy.
After adding, stir in the drained potatoes until well coated. Use salt and pepper to taste and season.
Spoon the potatoes with cheese into a dish that is ovenproof and sprinkle the leftover cheese on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown. Take out, allow to cool somewhat, and savor!
