Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish

Ingredients
  

Potatoes

  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Creamy Mixture

  • 1 packet French onion soup mix
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ¼ cup milk

Topping

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine sour cream, melted butter, milk, and French onion soup mix thoroughly to create a flavorful creamy sauce.
  • Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base of the casserole.
  • Pour the prepared creamy mixture evenly over the layered potatoes ensuring all slices are coated.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top to taste, enhancing the dish’s overall flavor profile.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and bake for 45 minutes allowing potatoes to soften.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the surface.
  • Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 15 minutes to melt and brown the cheese topping.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly for best texture.

Notes

Use thin slices of potatoes to ensure even cooking and tender texture. Covering tightly with foil during the first bake helps steam the potatoes thoroughly. Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like Gruyere or mozzarella. For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or chives on top before serving. This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as a hearty vegetarian main when served alongside a green salad.
