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.
