Southern-Style Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes – A Rich and Flavorful Comfort Dish

Serve these Mississippi Mud Potatoes as a hearty side dish alongside meats like roasted chicken, steak, or pork.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore the cheese’s meltiness.

For added richness, mix in a bit of sour cream or cream cheese into the cheese sauce.
You can also swap the cheddar cheese for other types, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for different flavor profiles.
Add a little bit of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for some heat if desired.
