For our family, anything with potatoes is always very traditional pick! Thanks for sharing this, looks very delicious and want to try it out myself as well 🙂
My family has made a very, very similar recipe for years! It’s one of our favorites, especially my husband’s.
This is my all time favorite recipe! We actually make this one for holidays. My mom has made it for thanksgiving and christmas ever since I can remember and it has always been my favorite dish!
That looks delicious. I’ve actually never been that successful at potato bakes for some reason. I think I get impatient and pull them out too soon!
Where does the sour cream come in?
Sorry for the missing step, the sour cream should be added in step 2! 🙂
One of our favorite recipes but we substitute onions and sour cream with French onion chip dip. Oh so delicious!
I make this for over 20 years. But do not fry my onions. Reduce butter to 4 Tbsp melted. Which I mix up with 1 pint sour cream the cream of chicken soup the finely chopped onions and the 2 cups of shredded old cheddar. I then spread it over the hash brown potatoes on top. I do not use the potatoe chips to save fat and nobody misses it. I bake in oven at 375 for 30 mins then use a spoon and make little separations in pan to allow top of mixture to fall through a bit. Bake another 30 mins.
It is one of our favourites including the grandchildren
