Ingredients
Scale
-
- 4 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)
-
- 1 cup sour cream
-
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
-
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
- ½ cup crushed buttery crackers or breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
-
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
-
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
-
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
-
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and dry onion soup mix until smooth.
-
- Add the sliced potatoes to the sauce mixture and stir gently until all potatoes are coated evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
-
- Transfer the coated potatoes into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
-
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
-
- If using, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese for a crunchy topping.
-
- Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
-
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced potatoes to ensure even cooking and tender bites.
- Softened cream cheese blends better into the sauce for a smooth texture.
- Dry onion soup mix adds savory depth but you can substitute with fresh sautéed onions and garlic.
