This is my daughter Bri’s favorite side dish in the world! She is away at college and was home for spring break, so this HAD TO BE on the table! Along with Chicken Poppy Seed Casserole (her other favorite), which together in one meal is just entirely too much creamy (NAW – there is no such thing ;)! But hey she gets what she wants when she comes home.

At our house they aren’t called Cheesy Potatoes or Funeral Potatoes – They are BRI’S POTATOES!

You may notice my lack of  “fine tuned photos”, but for good reason. I was allotted about 2 minutes to grab a picture.  I was being heckled from the other room by 5 hungry teenagers.

This recipe, in one version or another, is out there a plenty on the web, but my daughter insisted it had to be on my blog! And I totally agree it is such a tasty one.

It’s the perfect side for most any gathering you can think of! It feeds plenty and it’s gobbled up in a flash!
