INGREDIENTS

6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1” cubes
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
--(plus more for garnishing)
1-1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

***Garnish:
· Cheddar Cheese, grated
· Paprika

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place potato cubes in a large pot, covered with cold water, and par-boil for 8 to 10 minutes, drain in a colander, set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan add a 1/2 cup of the butter until halfway melted; add the minced garlic and onion powder and cook for 30 seconds, just until butter has melted; remove from heat, and set aside to cool.

Add the drained potatoes back into large pot, and set aside.

Add the cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, and salt and pepper to butter mixture in small saucepan that has cooled slightly; gently fold to combine; add mixture to the large pot of potatoes and gently fold to combine (no need to heat the additions).

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with oil. Add the potato mixture, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese, and then lightly dust with paprika on top.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; let stand for 10 minutes, and serve. - Enjoy!
