Easy Cheesy Golden Potato Squares

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Since my DH and DS could make a meal just on taters, I'm always searching for new and great tater recipes, this one happens to be a really good one. If you like some heat add in some cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeno.

This is a FABULOUS recipe for a side dish! I cut the recipe basically in half, using about 2 1/4 pounds of potatoes, a 5 oz. can of evaporated milk, and everything else exactly 1/2. The potatoes shredded up quickly in my mini food processor, and the dish came together quickly and nicely. I think some chicken bouillion granules would really make this over the top, but it really lends itself nicely to add whatever you'd like as far as seasonings or even other veggies if you'd like. SUPER side dish that we all LOVED!
