How to Make Best Ever Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Drain the potatoes well.
  4. Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Stir in sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
  5. Gently stir in the chopped tomatoes.
  6. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
  7. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden.
