Cheddar Cheese Scalloped Potatoes

Cheddar Cheese Scalloped Potatoes

This potato recipe packs in creamy cheesey goodness and will absolutely torture you with its wonderful scent when it’s cooking. When it comes out the oven, we have a very hard time letting it cool the appropriate ten minutes before we dig in.

Keep in mind that this dish needs to cook a long time (hour and a half) and unless you have two ovens may not work with a turkey. But it is even better the next day so could be made a day ahead of time!
Would be a great side dish for meatloaf.
