Notes
I purchase block cheese and shred it myself using a grater. I do not use pre-shredded cheese because it does not melt as well as block cheese.
Because chicken broth is used to cook the potatoes, I did not use much salt in this recipe. The broth has salt. Use your judgement in how much salt you would like in the dish.
