Cheezy Potatoes Recipes 

Cheezy potatoes are nothing new to the world’s cuisine. Eating cheese with potatoes dates back hundreds of years. Shepherds in Switzerland and Germany packed large chunks of sturdy hard cheese to eat while herding the cows through the mountains from pasture to pasture. In the evenings, the cheese would melt setting next to the campfires; the shepherds would scrape it off the chunks and spread on potatoes and bread.


Today we reach a new height of gourmet dining by adding different types of cheese to our potato recipes. Even when eating out we seem to want to load our baked potatoes or French fries with this rich creamy stuff. It is very common for most of our potato casseroles or baked potato dishes to be served with hot melted cheese oozing from the potatoes and other ingredients.  Even potatoes cooked on top of the stove are frequently with cheese added. I find myself adding cheese to potato salad and lately even when mashing potatoes. The possibilities are endless.
