Expert Tips
* Use any cheese you like in this rich side dish.

Despite looking a little funky, they were quite tasty (Was it the 2 cups of light cream and 1/2 cup of heavy cream that I used? I used red potatoes and didn't peel them. I omitted the onions for Tom's sake). Tom thought they were good, too.
