Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds frozen diced potatoes thawed
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 2 cups crushed potato chips (preferably kettle-cooked)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cheesy potatoes will bake evenly and get that perfect golden color.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Potato Mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed diced potatoes, softened butter, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Season It Up. Add kosher salt, pepper, and dried parsley to the potato mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, ensuring the flavors are just right.
  4. Step 4: Cheese It Up. Fold in the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese into the potato mixture. This adds a wonderful cheesiness that will make your dish irresistible.
  5. Step 5: Transfer to Baking Dish. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Step 6: Add the Crunch. Sprinkle the crushed kettle-cooked potato chips generously over the top of the potato mixture. This will create a deliciously crispy topping.
  7. Step 7: Bake. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  8. Step 8: Serve and Enjoy. Once baked, allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Dig in and enjoy each cheesy, creamy bite of My Moms Cheesy Potatoes!

Notes

  • Ensure the frozen potatoes are fully thawed to avoid excess moisture in the dish.
  • Use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melt and flavor.
  • Don't skip the potato chip topping; it adds essential texture!
  • Let the dish cool slightly before serving to help it set and make serving easier.
