Mom’s Cheese Potatoes recipe is one of our most favorite side dishes. We had it for Sunday dinner almost every week when we were growing up. Now, as a mother myself, I totally understand why we had it so often. Not only is it delicious, it’s extremely easy and very inexpensive to make. I now follow the pattern of my mother and make this almost every Sunday because it’s a side dish I know I will always have time to throw together, and my kids will love

How to Make Our Mom’s Cheese Potatoes

- Place cooked potatoes in a 9 x 9 inch glass pan.
- Pour soup/cheese mix over cooked potatoes and mix in a little bit.

Recipe Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with the plain Greek yogurt. It has the same texture, similar flavors, and works just great. The consistency is a little different from sour cream when you cook it. Plain Greek yogurt can be thinner when cooked or baked, but the creaminess and flavor are most similar.
- We recommend using russet potatoes, but you could also try using red potatoes, potato fingerlings, or even sweet potatoes.

I made moms cheesy potatoes but it did not have much flavor. I was not sure what grated cheese to use since it was not indicated. Also I did not know if it was an error and should be shredded cheese so that is what I used. Please let me know what should be used so I can remake it. Thank you.
We loved these! A previous comment said they didn’t have flavor but we didn’t find that at all. They were full of flavor. Will definitely add as a regular side dish!
The recipe calls for shredded cheddar.
I can’t wait to try this one! Question: Does it have bacon in it for the photo? It’s not on the ingredients list, but sure looks like bacon.
Yes, sometimes we add a little bacon crumbles for flavor.
Everyone loved this! I am lucky that I got some!
