This was my grandmother's recipe. No family event was complete without it! After she passed away, my Mother (her daughter-in-law) took over duties. You can't go wrong with cheesy potato goodness...

How To Make grandma barbara's cheesy potatoes

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. While oven is heating, cook potatoes in their skins in a large pot of boiling water just until cooked through. Peel and grate.
  • Step 2
    Heat milk and cream in a saucepan and gently add cheese until it’s thoroughly melted. Add mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Add potatoes, and pour cheese sauce over top. Bake covered for about an hour. Toward the last 10 minutes uncover to slightly brown top.
  • Step 4
    Please note, I divided this recipe into two batches, freezing half for later. That's why I used an 8x8-inch pan (the other is in the freezer, and has a bit less than half the recipe in it. FYI)
