Make the ultimate comfort food with this simple and delicious Cheesy Potato Bake recipe. This creamy potato bake, similar to funeral potatoes, uses hashbrowns for a melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen shredded hashbrown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, onion (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the cheese topping is golden brown.
  6. Let the Ultimate Cheesy Potatoes rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This is a great make-ahead casserole for holidays.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle 1/2 cup of crushed corn flakes mixed with 1 tablespoon of melted butter over the cheese before baking.
  • This recipe is a fantastic holiday potato side dish and feeds a crowd easily.
