Easy Cheesy Potatoes are a comforting and creamy side dish made with tender potatoes, melty cheese, and a simple creamy sauce. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or everyday dinners.
Ingredients
- 6 cups diced potatoes (about 4-5 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (optional topping)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced potatoes until well mixed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- If using topping, mix crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
- Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen diced hash browns for a shortcut—no need to thaw.
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for a vegetarian version.
- Top with extra cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesier finish.
