You need this Ultimate Cheesy Potato Casserole recipe for melt in your mouth potatoes. This easy side dish is unbelievably creamy, rich with sharp cheddar, and perfect for holidays or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen shredded hashbrown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for topping)

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, cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup melted butter, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the potato mixture.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Let the cheesy potato casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For make-ahead preparation, assemble the casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if you prefer.
  • If you do not have cornflakes, crushed Ritz crackers mixed with melted butter make an excellent crunchy topping.
