Pittsburgh Potatoes, a Vintage Recipe

Submitted by Jezski

"Creamy and cheesy, mild flavor but very tasty. Instead of the can of pimentos, you can cube red peppers (or green or both) and add to the potatoes and onions when they are about halfway through. A little crunch and color is nice."

This is the same recipe my mom has been making since I was a child in the 70's. It is delicious! the only difference is she used Cheddar cheese, but I guess you can have any combination of cheeses. It's all good!
