Ingredients
-
6 baking potatoes, peeled & sliced thin
-
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1 1/2 cups of grated medium cheddar
-
6 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into thin squares (approx 1 1/2 Inch Piece off a Large Block)
-
1 small yellow onion
-
1/4 cup chives (Freshly Chopped)
-
1 teaspoon Lipton Onion Soup Mix (Dry)
Instructions
- In a large covered casserole dish spray entire dish with a cooking spray and then spread 1 entire can of Cream of Mushroom soup evenly on the bottom (best way I’ve found to prevent the potatoes from sticking & adds flavor).
- Chop the onion into very small pieces & set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup, the Sour Cream and 1 TSP of Dry Lipton Onion Soup Mix (added for the flavor of the seasonings which makes it extra tasty).
- Peel & Slice the Potatoes Thin.
- LAYER #1: Start layering in the casserole dish with the Cream of Mushroom soup on the bottom: Layer of POTATOES then spread approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture on top, then ONIONS then ½ cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
- LAYER #2: POTATOES then approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture, then VELVETA CHEESE squares distributed evenly across.
- LAYER #3: POTATOES then all the remaining SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture then the remaining 1 cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
- Sprinkle the chives evenly across the top.
- BAKE COVERED in the oven at 300 degrees for about 1½ hour.
- BAKE UNCOVERED for approx another 1 hour or as needed until done and top is slightly browned (test with a fork and make sure the potatoes are done). Note: Baking uncovered at the end helps reduce the excess moisture.
