Description

Sour Cream and Onion Party Potatoes are a creamy, cheesy baked side dish featuring tender diced potatoes coated in a tangy sour cream and onion mixture, topped with a crispy buttery cracker crust. Perfect for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or any crowd-pleasing occasion, this flavorful casserole offers a comforting twist on classic loaded potatoes with the savory crunch of onion soup mix and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup crushed butter crackers or potato chips
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Boil the peeled and diced potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool slightly before combining.
  3. Mix the Cheese Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, dry onion soup mix, garlic powder, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the cheese mixture, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  5. Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread the potato and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for even baking.
  6. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crushed butter crackers or potato chips with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the potato layer to create a deliciously crispy topping.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the topping turns golden brown.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with additional chopped green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • This dish can be prepared a day in advance. Simply assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Add cooked bacon bits or caramelized onions to the mixture for extra flavor depth.
