Cheesey Potato with Hashbrowns
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bag of frozen shredded potatoes
- 1 can of cheddar cheese soup
- 1 (8 oz.) container of sour cream
- 2 1/2 cups colby jack cheese (divided use)
- 1/3 cup milk (optional, see below)
- 1/2 t (or more) seasoned salt
DIRECTIONS
- Thaw the potatoes thoroughly. If you just thaw them so they're not frozen, they'll be a little bit rawish when it's all done. I microwave them about a minute past thawed.
- Mix potatoes, cheese soup, and sour cream in large mixing bowl. Add salt (you may want to adjust the amt of salt, depending on taste, b/c both the sour cream and the potatoes just soak up [figuratively] the salt.)Mix in 2 cups of cheese.
- At this point, it's normally too thick for my preference, so I normally add about a third cup of milk, but that's completely up to you, it all depends on how much sauce you want in the potatoes.
- Pour mixture into large, deep, baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake for 35 minutes at 375ยบ
- This dish serves a lot! (I'm guessing maybe 10) It goes well with ham, chicken, or beef, and if you want, you can just add them to the mix and bake it all together.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
I wanted to make a cheese-potato dish, and went looking online for some inspiration. This really doesn't follow anything I've found, but I really like it.
