These were once called Suzanne’s Famous Potatoes, before that they were Sara’s Famous Holiday Potatoes, and often they’re called the Jaffe’s Famous Potatoes. We call them Cheesy Mashed Potatoes and throw in fresh garlic sometimes. They aren’t just for mashed potato type holidays, and experimentation is easy with this one. Generally, one can’t go wrong with mashed potatoes anyway so have fun with them! One thing is consistent and for sure – potatoes from this recipe become Famous whenever people try them for the first time.
