Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large stock pot
  • Sauté Pan
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 medium white potatoes
  • 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese yellow
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tbsp onion grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream add a little at a time

Instructions
 

  • Wash potatoes. In a large stock pot, add washed potatoes and bring to a boil. Add 1 tbsp of salt to the water. Cook potatoes until fork tender (around 45 mintues). Drain, cool and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Once potatoes are cold, peel, grate and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Grate cheddar cheese and onion, set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan, melt butter. Add grated cheddar cheese, onion, salt and pepper. Over medium heat, stir until the cheddar cheese is melted.
  • Add sour cream 1/4 cup at a time (to avoid curdling) and stir until combined and smooth.
  • Pour cheese mixture over grated potatoes and mix until combined.
  • If baking immediately, bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until bubbling and slightly browning. If baking later, cover and refrigerate or cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and freeze. Let sit at room temperature or thaw before baking then continue on with baking directions.
  • Serve and enjoy!
