Grandma's Potatoes
Description
This recipe uses frozen hash browns mixed into a smooth base of melted butter, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Cheddar cheese and sliced green onions incorporate sharp and fresh notes to the creamy mixture. The casserole spreads evenly in a pan and spends about an hour baked, allowing the potatoes to soften and the flavors to meld.
After baking, the dish is topped with cheddar-flavored fried onions and baked briefly more, adding a crispy, savory topping that contrasts with the creamy layers beneath. Garnishing with extra green onions provides some brightness.
Grandma’s Potatoes works well as a side dish for family meals or potlucks. The texture balances soft, creamy potatoes with crispy fried onions to add interest.
Alternatively, crushed cornflakes sautéed in butter can substitute the fried onions for a different crunchy topping, baked for the entire initial baking time.
