Equipment

1 9 x 13 Casserole Dish

Ingredients

8 tbsp butter melted
10 oz cream of onion soup
1 1/3 cups sour cream
12 oz sharp cheddar cheese grated and divided
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
32 oz frozen diced hash brown potatoes
1 cup kettle cooked potato chips crushed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9x13 glass casserole dish and set aside.
In a very large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cream of onion soup. Then stir in the sour cream, 8 oz (2 cups) of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the salt and pepper. Stir together until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the frozen diced hash brown potatoes.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for one hour.
Remove the foil from the dish. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips on top of the potato casserole. Put the dish back in the oven and broil for 5 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn the potato chips. You just want them to get lightly toasted.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley to serve.

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.
