How to Make Absolute Best Potatoes 5Fix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, 8 ounces velveeta cheese, cut into cubes, and 1/2 cup half-and-half. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  3. Peel and cube 2 pounds russet potatoes. (You can leave the skins on for extra rustic appeal!)
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine the melted cheese mixture and the cubed potatoes. Ensure potatoes are evenly coated.
  5. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and heated through.
  7. Remove from oven and spread a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of sour cream over the top.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
