Cheddar Duchess Potatoes
These potatoes are similar to a loaded baked potato, but the presentation is so much better! Also, just because they are a little fancy doesn’t mean they are hard to make. They are shockingly fast to make. These potatoes also freeze well, so make up some extras and toss them into the freezer for a quick side dish.
Why are they called “Duchess” potatoes?
Duchess potatoes, known for their creamy texture and piped, decorative appearance, were named after the French term “pommes de terre duchesse.” This dish likely originated among French aristocracy, reflecting the elegance and sophistication associated with nobility, hence the term “duchess.”
