This is a really warm, hearty, feel good recipe. The kind of comfort food that gets us through hard times. It may not be that glam looking (let’s be honest, it’s pretty bougie), but it hits the spot every time.
We grew up with this dish.
Heck, Mom even made it in the toaster oven!
Experiment with some vegetables inside the potatoes, go crazy with the cheese, make it your own.
You won’t regret it.
