Cheesy Potato Casserole

Very easy and yummy. I used 2 pounds of fresh diced potatoes and increased the cooking time by about 10 minutes and it was perfect! I substituted cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom and it was delicious. I also doubled the onions and I used margarine instead of butter. My only comment is the casserole was quite oily - maybe that was because I used margarine. I think you could sugnificantly cut back on the margarine (maybe even eliminate it altogether) because the soup and sour cream mixture provides plenty of moisture. I also topped the casserole with another small handful of cheese when there was about 10 minutes of cooking time left. Bottom line - a big time hit at my house! Rich, creamy and cheesy!

Yummy potatoes, in a great cheesy sauce! I used fresh diced potatoes. Added a t garlic powder. I cut the butter to 1/4 cup and raised the onions to 1/2 cup. This is a very good side for most any dinner! The cream of chicken soup gives this a very good flavor. Thanks, Tara for a keeper!!

I thought this was a good recipe. We left out the onion because we don't like onions. We always substitute with onion powder or dried minced onions... It needed some salting at the table, but it was a crowd pleaser!

Had some for breakfast this morning, cold - right out of the frig. I had to leave out the onions because my son is here visiting this week. I used half the butter and substituted cheddar cheese soup. I couldn't resist using the rest of a 2 cup bag of cheese to sprinkle on top. A delightful any easy way to dress up ye olde potatoes!

I couldn't get over how tasty this easy recipe was! I omitted the onions, and my bag of hash browns is 750g -- other than that, I followed this recipe exactly. After an hour in the oven, it was perfect: tender, tasty, and cheesy. I thought it might stick to the pan, but it didn't. It may technically serve 8, but my two guys polished off half of it! This recipe is a definite keeper!

I lost my original recipe for this great casserole, and this is the closest to it. I do have a couple of changes to add that you might like. First, I double everything to make a bigger batch (trust me, it'll get eaten!). Second, I don't put butter IN the casserole. I melt a stick of butter and mix it with a sleeve of Ritz crackers crushed, and that goes on the top of the casserole for a delicious crunchy topping that you can't WAIT to get to! Third, I use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken. Fourth, I don't thaw the potatoes. Just mix it all together and toss it in the oven. It WILL bake about 2 hours, give or take 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven. This is a WONDERFUL dish that will make your house smell INCREDIBLE as it bakes. You'll be so anxious to eat this casserole, you won't believe it!! Enjoy!!

I have made this several times now and love it! I use tator tots, partially defrosted and cut in half. Other than that, I follow the recipe. Delicious side to any meal!

this is so very good. i followed the recipe to the t the first few times i made it and it was fantastic. i love fresh rosemary in potato salad and added 1/2 teaspoon the last time i had it and it made it even better. any casserole left doesn't last long in the fridge. thanks so much for posting it.

I do a rendition of this... with 1/2 c. butter, then I add 4 oz of cream cheese and 4 oz of cream cheese with chive and onions... and throw in a 1/2 c. of sour cream to get the texture I like...and I add about 1/4 c. sweet onions and top it with Ruffles plain potato chip crumbs. I only use the frozen hashbrowns for this recipe... and I avoid canned soup like the plague :)

I've made this several times... love it! I actually like to add a cup or so of the fried onions instead of the chopped onions. Although, if I use fresh onions I always saute in the butter first. I do cut the butter down to 1/4 cup, works great!

great recipe...all 22 people loved it. I would not cut back on the butter... but you have to use real butter..not margarine. The butter makes it holiday awesome!

So incredibly yummy, I can't believe it! This recipe was so easy to put together. I omitted the sour cream as it seemed to have enough creaminess when I mixed everything together. Definitely chop the onions really fine. The first time I made the mistake of leaving larger pieces in it that didn't cook as fast as the potato. Added some garlic powder and season salt. Everyone raved at dinner and I've made this three times already. Definitely a keeper!

I am going to rate this high because I used it as a short cut to a casserole I typically make that starts with potatoes you cook and shred and it stood in perfectly for that. Like others, I subbed cream of celery soup (which my other recipe does not have) and I thought that added some depth to flavor. I think I will turn to this again just because it streamlined my Easter dinner prep and was well received. Thanks!! When I make it again, I might sprinkle some paprika on top because it didn't really brown and the color could be helpful.

A very average potato casserole, not very flavorful. I'd suggest more cheese and maybe Top the Tater or some kind of savory sour cream. It was easy. I don't think I'd make it again.

VERY good! I read through all the reviews and made the following changes: 1.) No butter, except to coat the pan, 2.) Used cheese soup and potatoes o'brien instead, 3.) Added 1/2 t seasoned salt and 1/4 t garlic powder, 4.) DOUBLED the shredded cheese, 5.) And added 1/4 t black pepper (all for a single recipe). I also doubled it, but I cooked it much longer than required. I think it was in the oven for 3.5 hours. I covered it for half that time, uncovered and stirred, then topped with more cheese and continued baking. The double batch was completely eaten at a holiday party. This is SO stinking good! I'm baking it right now again for a potluck!

Very good. I love the cripy top layer especially. I added left over red pepper bell peper to mine and substituted half cream cheese because I ran out of sour cream. Will be making again!

This is a favorite at every pot luck!!
