Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup sour cream

1 cup cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for vegetarian option)

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)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, boil diced potatoes until tender (about 10–15 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Make Filling: In a large mixing bowl, stir together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, diced onions, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Combine: Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the creamy mixture until fully coated.

Assemble: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with crushed cornflakes or potato chips.

Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make it vegetarian by swapping cream of chicken for cream of mushroom soup.

For a different topping, use crushed Ritz crackers or seasoned panko.

Make ahead: Assemble without topping, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance. Add topping and bake before serving.

Great as a side with ham, chicken, or roasted vegetables.
