This Italian Cheesy Potatoes recipe was something I conjured up from scratch. I have some left over potatoes and pecorino cheese from prior recipes. If you explore my blog, you will find the pecorino cheese is my favorite. It goes well with pretty much everything. The potatoes I used were regular russet potatoes. The next time I make this recipe, I will try it with red potatoes. If you use red potatoes, let me know how it came out.
This dish was fairly easy to make. I just had to cut up the potatoes, shred the cheese and mix all the ingredients together. A mandolin was used to cut the potatoes thin. If you don’t have a mandolin, try cutting the potatoes in an even fashion.
