Swiss Potatoes

Potatoes always make it to the Easter dinner table in my house. They can be mashed or prepared in more of a casserole fashion. Or they can even be in good old potato salad. I love them as part of my Easter meal.

Today, I have a simple way of preparing them using cheese. This recipe for Swiss Potatoes uses two types of cheese along with some half and half.  They are so delicious and serve a crowd!
