Description

This comforting casserole, also known as Party Potatoes, is a holiday favorite. Creamy, cheesy potatoes are topped with buttery, crunchy corn flakes for a side dish thatโ€™s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole:

  • 2 pounds southern-style hash brown potatoes (frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons minced onions (frozen)
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

For the Topping:

  • 2ยฝ cups corn flake cereal (crushed)
  • ยฝ cup butter (melted)


Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9ร—13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure it doesnโ€™t stick.
  • Prepare the Casserole Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns and frozen minced onions. You donโ€™t need to thaw the potatoes.
    Add the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Assemble the Casserole:
    Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the casserole is evenly distributed.
  • Make the Topping:
    In a small bowl, combine the crushed corn flakes and melted butter. Stir until the corn flakes are evenly coated with butter.
  • Top the Casserole:
    Sprinkle the buttery corn flakes evenly over the casserole mixture. This topping will create a crispy, golden layer.
  • Bake:
    Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40โ€“45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve:
    Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, comforting casserole!

Notes

  • You can make this casserole ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just bake it on the day you plan to serve it.
  • The corn flakes add a delicious crunch, but you can substitute them with crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs for a variation.
  • For a creamier casserole, add more sour cream or cheese to the mixture.
  • You can also top this casserole with other herbs and spices like garlic powder, paprika, or fresh chives for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add some diced jalapeรฑos or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
