Which is where Potato Surprise comes in.

As Weird as it may sound, and even maybe look..I'm TELLING you, 

This is by FAR my favorite thing, and it is Suuuuuper easy!

My Momma has been making this for me for years & has even discovered that my once uninterested hubby will give-in to her powers of potatoes & melted cheese... 

& she uses it frequestly  to trick him into small chores, or even just visits. 

(I always love how sneaky you are Momma.. haha)

So seeing as this is
