How to Make Linda's Fried Cheese Potatoes
Peel and cube 2 lbs of potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large, covered skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook, turning every 5 minutes, for 20 minutes.
Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are almost tender.

Add 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese slices, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and creamy.
