Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 10-inch skillet and heat on medium-high heat.
- Layer the sliced potatoes, onions, and grated cheese in the skillet, ending with a layer of potatoes on top.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Immediately flip the skillet contents onto a serving plate and serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme between the layers. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the cheese with sour cream or cream cheese. For a smoky kick, try using smoked Cheddar cheese. If you have leftover vegetables, feel free to toss those in as well for a heartier dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these skillet potatoes as a hearty side dish with grilled meats, or pair them with eggs for a comforting breakfast. They also go well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a delightful dessert, consider serving with Grandma'S Coconut Custard Pie to round out your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to create steam, which will help prevent them from drying out. Cover with a lid for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
