How to Make Gourmet Cheese Potatoes
- Wash and peel 2 pounds of russet potatoes.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Place potato halves in your crock-pot and add 1 cup of water or broth. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until almost tender.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter.
- Stir until cheese is melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream (or milk), 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Once potatoes are almost soft, coarsely shred them using a potato masher or fork (leaving some texture).
- Gently fold the cheese sauce into the shredded potatoes.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
- Dot with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon paprika.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
