Creamy, Cheesy Potato Casserole
"A friend of my mother's made this when I was younger. It was the BEST potato dish I'd ever had. Thirty years later - and lots of tinkering - I finally replicated it. Now my husband and kids are big fans, too. I hope your family enjoys this as much as we do."

The expression from my normally cool and composed husband was priceless. He exclaimed it was "soooooo good!" So I guess I will be making this again! -
Excellent!
