Cheesy Potato Casserole

I love writing up recipes and discovering something new! Today I found this one and it is a hands down winner for a side dish. I often times want to make potatoes with dinner but get stumped when I want to add flavor to it without doing gravy. Sometimes gravy just doesn't pair well with what we are having or I'm just not in the mood for gravy. This recipe is perfect and all I can think of now is adding it as our potato side dish for Thanksgiving! I know it's a tad early but writing it out I will have it saved for the holidays 😉
