Cheesy Potatoes

Over the course of the last several years, my sister-n-law brings these cheesy potatoes to holiday gatherings. She brings the dish because they are really good. I normally get my fill on these potatoes and I am fairly content until she serves them for the next gathering, however this past weekend I had a true craving for them. My father-n-law invited us for dinner, for what he coined ‘the last night to grill’, this past weekend, and I offered to bring a dish, and that dish being a potato. Now I thought for a few minutes, until I thought of the cheesy potatoes. Cheesy potatoes, with my twist on them.

Cheese Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 2 bags of Ore-Ida Southern Style Hashbrowns, frozen
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of onion soup
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup of french fried onions
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Pepper
  • Milk (enough to build a nice texture with the canned soup)
  • 6 tbsp of butter
  • 2 dollops of sour cream
  • 4 cups of finely shredded four cheese blend

In a large pot, add the cream of soups and roughly 2 1/2 cups of milk, and slowly whisk to bring it together.  Continue cooking on medium heat, and add the butter. Get a large bowl ready because you will add the potatoes and combine everything in this bowl before transferring it to your large casserole dish.  To the potatoes add it all in, reserving a cup or so of the cheese to add in later, and mix well.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a large casserole dish. Add the bowl of potatoes to the casserole dish and cook for roughly 2 hours, covered. Add the remaining cheese to the top, and place under the broiler to crisp up the cheese and potatoes for a few minutes.

Remove from the oven, and let cool for about five minutes as these are piping hot. These cheesy potatoes are so good that you will probably want them not only for a snack, but also for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These served 9 with two days of leftovers. Great for a large gathering. For a kick, top with bacon.
