Cheesy Potato Egg Casserole
This cheesy potato egg casserole is rich, cheesy and super yummy!!! What a great side dish to any meal. Well, this could be my main meal, it’s that good. On these cold days, and blistery cold nights, what’s better than a delicious addition to your dinner table at meal time, then a great potato casserole recipe?
I’ve been extremely busy with work lately and haven’t had time to even think about getting in the kitchen to bake, or cook, anything. But today I decided that making this cheesy potato egg casserole would be great for dinner and to have throughout the week. YUM!
My grandfather’s second wife used to make some amazing potatoes which were my absolute favorite potatoes ever! Her recipe was kind of like this cheesy potato egg casserole. She’s Hungarian and such a great cook! This recipe is inspired from Grandma Rose. It’s not quite exactly like hers, but it’s close and tastes delicious.
I’ve made this many times and found that when the potatoes are more on the softer side, this cheesy potato egg casserole comes out better. Adding some diced green chili will definitely change up the flavor, even some jalapenos would be good as well.
