# Easy Cheesy Potatoes

May 1, 2014 1:30:04 PM  |  by [Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/guest)

[![Cheesy-potatoes](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Cheesy-potatoes.jpg?width=530&height=355&name=Cheesy-potatoes.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Cheesy-potatoes.jpg)

I used to make my **cheesy potatoes** using *boxed* potatoes (can you say, *chemical preservatives*?), *Ritz *crackers ([trans fats](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2008/01/trans-fat-dangers.html)) and get this:  *[Velveeta cheese](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2008/10/shredding-cheese-healthy-options-rookie.html)*!  If you still cook with those things, don’t feel bad, you just didn’t know, like I didn’t used to know.  But now that we know better, we can cook better.  ![:)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/80kQInCCKFIa474S7y5Jf-Q9fODMLcXi5oJlrroAmgDV0XvAq_0ev4GvIszCiOehR1X73tEGIsJjeng54MckDmtpCBwhGmFjyyRnhqZPKAQ9Z4PAwIDnUMpsh0YD=s0-d-e1-ft-4.gif)

If you need a make-ahead (or not) cheesy potatoes recipe, you’ll love this one that is simple and delicious.  Yes, these **Cheesy Potatoes **are pretty carb-heavy if you have blood sugar issues, but remember, the [healthy fats](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2008/08/healthy-fats-oils.html) in the recipe help to lower their glycemic index!  Read more about that here:  [How to Eat Carbs Safely and Lower the Glycemic Index of the Foods You Love](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2013/08/how-to-eat-carbs-safely-and-lower-the-glycemic-index-of-foods-you-love-hint-this-also-explains-why-dieting-backfires.html).
