- 2 lbs. refrigerated cubed potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (I used Kraft Triple Cheddar Creamy Melt)
- 1 Tbsp. chives, chopped, for garnish
As mentioned above, I used Kraft Triple Cheddar Creamy Melt. This bag of shredded cheddar has added Philadelphia cream cheese which adds extra creaminess to make these potatoes even more decadent.
Don't skip adding the Montreal Seasoning. It gives this dish such added flavor. And the added cayenne gives it just a touch of heat.
