Need another side dish to tonights meal! Fear not, try this Potato Bake!
Cheesy potato bake
Notes:
- We ate this wonderful bowl of comfort food with our favourite local BBQ chicken and some steamed green vegetables.
- I used half low-fat milk and half cream in a feeble attempt to reduce calories.
- The recipe would work just as well with low fat milk.
