Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.

2

Cook the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and heated through.

4

Combine Potatoes and Cheese

Add the drained potatoes to the cheese sauce and mix until the potatoes are well coated. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

5

Serve

Transfer the cheesy potatoes to a serving dish and top with chopped green onions. Serve warm.
