Made these potatoes for DH's Fathers Day dinner and he wants them again soon! We used Cheez-It crackers and mild cheddar since that is what I had. The potatoes were a little runny when I served them but it didnt take long for them to thicken right up. I didnt use a lot of salt because of the crackers being salty but they did need a bit more so willl be sure to add the required amount next time. Will be a favorite potato dish in our house!
