Blue Ribbon Recipe

These potatoes are definitely sassy and savory, we literally wanted to lick the plate they were so good. The cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning and even has a little kick to liven up the potatoes. We also love the flavor the fresh onions gives the dish - an extra punch of flavor. These potatoes would be great for a potluck or a side with your holiday ham or roast. Delish!
