Cheesy Potato Cups
These Cheesy Potato Cups were a hit with my spud loving family. The individual portions make them perfect for dinner parties, holidays or even weeknights!
Cheesy Potato Cups
I left my Cook’s Country magazine on the counter folded open to the photo of this recipe for Cheesy Potato Cups. Bill walked by and said, “I’d eat those.” Yeah, this I knew. Baked in muffin tins, these are like individual portions of cheesy scalloped potatoes. I served these for Christmas Eve, only forgetting one step in the baking process, resulting in a less crispy crust, but these were definitely a crowd-pleaser.
