Cheesy Potatoes

I remember my mom pulling this amazing cheesy potatoes casserole out of the oven for special family gatherings and I couldn’t wait to dig into all that melty cheesy goodness.  It was the stuff that legends are made of!

I have a feeling you’re going to find the same thing once you make this cheesy potato casserole recipe, too!

• Cheesy Hashbrown Potatoes

…and more!

Made with simple, everyday ingredients, this dish is a must-have for any get-together you host!

Ingredients needed for Cheesy Potatoes

• frozen hashbrown potaotes – I like Ore-Ida Hashbrowns but you could use Country Style Shredded Hashbrowns, too!
• cheddar cheese
• sour cream
• cream of chicken soup
• butter
• cornflakes – a MUST for the topping

This casserole recipe is super easy to make, too!

How To Make Cheesy Potatoes Casserole

1. Add frozen hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and cheese to a large bowl and mix well.
2. Add the potato mixture to a large baking dish.
3. Top with a mixture of crushed up cornflakes and butter.
4. Bake!  That’s it!

This old-fashioned potato dish is so delicious.  I love the crunchy topping of corn flakes coated with melted butter the best. It just adds a special touch of goodness that a lot of recipes don’t include.

Do yourself a favor and don’t leave off this buttery topping.  It’s what makes this dish over the top good!

There’s just something about it that reminds me of being little.  My grandmother used to add them to the top of her casseroles all the time and when I add crushed up cornflakes to the top of my dishes, it takes me back instantly.

If you’re wondering what might be some good main dishes to add cheesy potatoes to, try my favorites –
