Mexican Potato Casserole

Sometimes I try to find ways to fancy up potatoes for dinner. Potatoes are so cheap, especially when you are on a budget. And we are definitely on a budget because we are buying our first house, so we won’t have as much wiggle room in our current budget until my husband gets his next raise.

I came up with this quick skillet dish on a whim & it turned out great. My husband kept looking at me surprised that everything came out so flavorful & hearty.
