CHEESY POTATOES

These Cheesy Potatoes are so easy to make but it will give that WOW factor to your dinner.

The steps are so simple you can whip them up in 5 minutes.

They only take up your oven space for 1 hour.

You will have plenty of time to prepare any other oven dishes you will need to cook.

I used potato chips for the topping, but most recipes call for corn flakes.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 2 lbs frozen hash browns, I use the diced kind
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 10 1/2 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 16 oz cup sour cream
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese, I sometimes use cheddar jack.
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 handfuls crushed potato chips

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Gather ingredients.
  • Defrost potatoes and place in rectangular pan.
  • Melt butter, and mix together the onions and soup. Remove from heat.
  • Add sour ceam to mixture. Spread evely over potatoes. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle potato chips on top.
  • Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

You’ll save 50 calories and 7g of total fat, including 4g of sat fat, per serving by substituting margarine for the butter.

Prepare your recipe with 98%-fat-free condensed cream of chicken soup, BREAKSTONE’S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream,

1 pkg. (7 oz.) KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, and RITZ Reduced Fat Crackers creates a whole new flavor and texture to your dish.

Or add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce to potato mixture before spooning into dish, or sprinkle the potatoes lightly with paprika before baking.

The cheese melting around those perfect slices of hash browns is so yummy and I get asked to make this for all the family get togethers.

I never have leftovers from this, so make sure you get the first helping and hide it in the kitchen!

In this image below you can see I paired these cheesy potatoes with some Polish sausage and pumpernickel buttered bread.

It is a favorite of my husband!

You can easily use these potatoes as an addition to a ham or turkey meal for the Holiday!

The textures and flavors of these Cheesy Potatoes make them the perfect compliment to your meal.

They are the a great dish for taking to a family gathering, pot luck dinner, or even a picnic!

I know your guests will love these cheesy potatoes just as much as my family has for 3 generations. They have become a family tradition.

Give this dish a try for your next gathering.

You won’t regret doing so!

Cheesy Potatoes

My granddaughter wanted to help me style the ingredients and take the photo. When she was done she brought me the camera and started singing this Sesame Street song:

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others,
By the time I finish my song?

Can you spot it? Yes. She is spoiled by Grandma.

Cheesy Potatoes Ingredients

Steps 1- Melt butter, and mix together the onions and soup. Remove from heat.

Step 2- Add sour ceam to mixture. Spread evenly over potatoes.

Step 3- Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Step 4- Out of the oven.

Step 5- Add chips and cool.

Step 6- Let’s eat!
