This is sort of macaroni and cheese made with potatos.

8-9 med red potato, or any boiling potato
1/2 C butter( yep, this is not diet food)
1 pint 1/2 & 1/2, or light cream
1 tsp salt
3 C cheddar cheese, mild works best

Parboil the potatos for about 15 minutes, and let them cool completely
Using a grater, shred them into a bowl.
Melt the butter into the salt and cream
Grease a 9"x13" baking dish
Assembly the dish in 5 layers
layer 1-potatos
layer 2-cheese
layer 3-potatos
layer 4-cheese
layer 5-sauce
bake at 350F for about an hour until the top browns.

When your pants don't fit anymore, don't blame me.
