Right? Combine that with the fact potatoes alone are so versatile and cheese such a nice complement to them, and they're both very hard to screw up, you practically have to be deliberately trying to burn them to a crisp to make them actually inedible. Nothing says "struggle meal" like "you literally can not screw this up unless you fall asleep while it's cooking".

And just having even a modest spice shelf makes this twice as good. Season the fuck out of your potatoes and cheese, make some of the most delicious food you've ever tasted out of the easiest ingredients you've ever used. Salt and pepper are the floor, but they are nowhere near the ceiling. I threw in cayenne and garlic powder as examples for some of what I like, but again, not even close. Experiment, figure out what calls to you, and though you may struggle, you will never taste the struggle.

edit: also, of course, there exists various sauces you could use for dip, or in lieu of, or in complement to covering your potatoes with cheese; but then I feel we're getting more out of struggle meal territory than anything. So, one more nice thing about the combination of potatoes and cheese is you can always improve on it and put either no effort in or a ton of effort in and you will probably still go "fuck, that was good" afterwards.
