Ingredients
4–5 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar-mozzarella blend)
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for vegetarian)
½ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 cup cornflakes or crushed Ritz crackers (for topping)
1–2 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Mix sour cream, cream soup, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
-
Layer half the potatoes in the dish, then half the onions and cheese.
-
Pour half the sour cream mixture over the layers. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream mixture.
-
Combine cornflakes or crackers with melted butter and Parmesan if using; sprinkle evenly on top.
-
Cover with foil; bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15-20 more minutes until potatoes are tender and topping golden.
-
Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Mix in green onions or chives for freshness.
Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for tanginess.
Use sweet potatoes for a twist.
Try crushed fried onions as topping instead of cornflakes/crackers.
Broil 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy topping.
Use gluten-free soup and toppings to keep recipe gluten-free.
