Winter’s Coziest Bite: Four-Ingredient Cheesy Potatoes That Warm Every January Night

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

Do I need to boil the potatoes first?
No. Thin slicing allows them to cook fully in the oven while absorbing the creamy sauce.

What’s the best cheese to use?
Cheddar is reliable, but any good melting cheese—Colby, Monterey Jack, or Gouda—works well.

Can I freeze cheesy potatoes?
Freezing is possible, but the texture may change slightly. For best results, enjoy them fresh or refrigerated.
