My Auntie made these for as long as I can remember. We knew if we were going to her house we were getting these!

How To Make auntie carolyn's cheesy potatoes

Step 1

In sauce pan combine half and half, cheeses, and butter.

Step 2

Cook over low heat until cheese is melted, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Add garlic and salt.
Step 4

Simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring frequently. My sisters and I cheat and don't cook it that long with no difference to the final product.

Spray 9 x 13 pan or line with foil; also does great in a disposable.
Step 6

Arrange has browns evenly in pan.
Step 7

Pour cheese over and stir.
Step 8

Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 35o degrees or until top is slightly browned.
