You can even turn the leftovers into potato pancakes or make a Shepard’s pie. My hubby and I made this dish as part of our Valentine’s day dinner. We decided to spend Valentine’s day at home and make a special dinner after the kids went to bed. We grilled some steak, made these potatoes, and roasted some asparagus. Needless to say, it was delicious and much more relaxing verus going out to a restaurant!
We also make these at Thanksgiving and they are always the one dish that everyone grabs at least one spoonful of. With bacon, cheese, sour cream, butter, and green onions throughout, whats not to love, right?! If you want to add more cheese or bacon, feel free! This recipe can be made to fit your preferences!
