The double cheesy aspect of this dish comes from the combination of two types of cheese - typically a sharp cheddar and a creamy, mild cheese like Gruyère or Fontina. The result is a gooey, melty, and flavorful topping that is the ultimate indulgence. The potatoes are baked until golden and bubbly, creating a crispy, cheesy crust on top of the tender, creamy potatoes.
