These cheesy potatoes are like the classic casserole many have come to know and love but with some changes to make them even better!

Cheesy Potatoes | Foodtastic Mom #cheesypotatoes

I’m on vacation currently. We’re driving around Canada having some adventures that I’ll probably post about soon. But I’ve got two new recipes, an update of an old favorite and a roundup of the best grilling recipes ready for you. Well sort of. I still have to edit the photos and actually write the posts. I thought I’d be able to do that earlier this week but our first stop in Canada didn’t allow me to access my laptop on the WiFi. So these cheesy potatoes are coming to you a few days later than I’d planned.

So why another cheesy potatoes recipe? I’ve been eating this comforting casserole dish for years and years. I had never heard them called funeral potatoes? But those seem to be topped with crushed cornflakes. Mine are topped with crushed, kettle-cooked potato chips. Because what goes better with potatoes than more potatoes?

Also I’ve never understood adding cream of chicken soup to a potato dish. I like to add cream of onion soup and skip adding any chopped onion. Also I much prefer the cubed hash brown potatoes instead of the shredded variety. They have a better texture and mouth feel. So these potatoes are like the classic casserole recipe but in my humble opinion they are better. But maybe that’s just because I’ve tailored them to my own specific tastes. Which may be different than yours. You’ll have to tell me. Try these potatoes and let me know what you think!

Tips for Cheesy Potatoes:

  • Use an extra sharp cheddar cheese for the most flavor
  • Be sure to grate your own cheese – no shortcuts on this step
  • This dish is great to make ahead – simply mix and store in the refrigerator and then bake the next day
  • Use a 9×13 glass baking dish like this one to bake the cheesy potatoes

Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 10 oz can cream of onion soup
  • 1 1/3 cups sour cream not low fat
  • 12 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese grated and divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 32 oz bag frozen diced hash brown potatoes
  • 1 cup crushed kettle cooked potato chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish and set aside.
  • In a very large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cream of onion soup. Then whisk in the sour cream, 8 oz (2 cups) of the shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese and the salt and pepper.
  • Fold in the diced hash brown potatoes.
  • Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. 
  • Then top the cheese layer evenly with the crushed potato chips.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheesy top of the casserole is bubbly, about 15 minutes more. Remove and allow to set for about 5 minutes before serving. 

Notes

Cheesy potatoes can be made a day ahead of time. Store the potato mixture in the baking dish, covered tightly with foil, in the refrigerator. Then bake according to recipe directions the next day.

    Those do look so incredibly comforting, and to hear your twists on the theme.

    I make these almost every weekend. Also good to mix in diced ham or kielbasa and broccoli to make it a one dish meal. Yummy

      I’m very happy to hear this. And I agree about the hame or kielbasa – I have added both before as well!

    Made these yesterday for christmas dinner, and while they were delish, they also came out a bit salty most likely from the crushed potato chips. If you are concerned about salt consumption, I would leave off the chips, the main dish would have been equally delicious without them I think.

    Do you need to put a can of water in with the condensed cream of onion soup?

    Looks and sounds delicious! Can you make this in a crockpot? What would the time/setting conversion be?

    Do you thaw the frozen cubed hashbrowns?

      No, there’s no need to thaw the hashbrowns.

    Hi, I want to make these for Thanksgiving this year, but Walmart does not carry Cream of Onion soup. What can I use as a substitute?

      You can use cream of celery, cream of mushroom or cream of chicken. Enjoy!
