Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or potato chips (for topping)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil diced potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, diced onions, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Fold the cooked potatoes into the creamy mixture until well coated.
  5. Spread mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with crushed cornflakes or potato chips.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Swap cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom to make it vegetarian. Try topping with Ritz crackers or panko for a different crunch. Make ahead and refrigerate (without topping) up to 24 hours, then bake when ready to serve.
