I called my mother-in-law to get this recipe this evening because it's a favorite on that side of the family. I have to take a potato to a potluck and this is perfect. We use O'Brien potatoes and I omit the onion. Also, one year there was nothing for the topping but Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so we used that and it was actually tasty! We have made it that way ever since! ;-) Enjoy!

OMG!! This is the Bomb. I had to modify for what I had on hand. I used cr-o mushroom, only had 1/2 cup sour cream so I used that and french onion dip. Also, I used a blended colby-mont/jack cheese. Topped it with Sour Cream-Onion chips. Omitted the salt & pepper. Oh, and I used fresh diced potatoes. No Leftovers!! Rave reviews from my guests. Huge Winner!!! Thanks Bea!!!!New tradition for us!!!Love it!!

I made this dish for a cookout over the weekend and everyone commented on how good it was. My only change was to add french fried onions on top instead of the potato chips. I think next time I will add some spices to give the dish a little zip, as I thought the dish was good but it did not have alot of flavor.

I love this recipe and I have also used the O'Brian type of hashbrowns and skipped adding onions. Adds a slightly different flavor. Both versions are very good!

So yummy! This is a favorite of ours. I never buy frozen potatoes to make this, though. I always just use my own potatoes peeled, diced, and par-cooked on stove-top before baking. I must have made a hundred times already, and probably will make a few hundred more.

I have been making a similar recipe for years. This is a favorite of everyone. I substitute velveeta for the cheddar cheese and crushed cornflakes instead of the potato chips. Also, no onion is in mine since my husband can't stand it. A definite keeper.

Recipe was super easy to make and was delicious. I used 1 c mozarella and 1 c sharp cheddar. It made the potatoes more white with yellow threads running through - very pretty. Also, I didn't add any butter (already fatty enough!)and I used sweet maui onion potato chips crumbled on top and it was SOOO good. My boyfriend likes ham so I used two 8X8 dishes, one with added ham and one without. Great recipe - will use again and again. I might try adding broccoli or spinach next time for an easy veggie.

I didn't thaw the potatoes and it came out just fine. I used potatoes O'Brien and skipped the onion since those already have peppers and onions in them. I've also made without the potato chips and it's still yummy! Just mix the butter in with everything else!

We all really liked this casserole, but in the future, I will heat the potatoes on the stove before putting them in the oven. Even after an hour, the potatoes were a little cold. I thought they were mostly thawed...but I guess not.

My mother in law went for seconds! Also, I put half in a Ziploc bag and am freezing it. So I only used 8x8 pan. It was the perfect amount, and now i have this to use for another dinner.

This is the closest recipe I could find here that matches the recipe my mom got at a recipe exchange. Great to see it's so hughly rated!! The only changes were mine called for "one large box of thawed frozen hashbrowns"; prabably just a four ounce box. Also, mine calls for one cup of sour cream. I don't know if a pint would be the same measurement or not..so there you go!! THANKS :]

First attempt - GROSS so I made it again today hoping I'd messed it up the first time. Unfortunately, I still don't care for it. It's definitely easy but in this case, a waste of ingredients.

I have been making this potato casserole for a few years now. I omitted the butter and chips. I sometimes add small cubes of ham. Delicious. Family loves them. I will be making it with the potato chips for Christmas.

This is pretty much the recipe I use but with a few changes. First, I don't ever thaw out the hash browns (though it would probably be much easier to mix up if i did), I don't add onion, I add 1 stick of butter, softened and then i use 8 ounces of sour cream AND 8 ounces of french onion dip (which adds a nice little something extra). With the topping I usually crush enough chips into the melted butted to cover the entire dish (a bit more messy this way but all the chips get coated with butter and I like it that way). I also a few times have used sour cream & onion chips just for a little more flavor. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I bake at 350 for 1 hour exactly and it comes out perfect every time!

I used cream of mushroom instead of chicken and I omitted the butter and chips but it still turned out fantastic. This is just the recipe I was looking for, my family and I loved it!

This was really good. I cut back the onions to 1/4 c because my kids don't like it that much and I also omit the melted butter because it is completely unnecessary. It also reheats pretty well in the microwave the next day. After that, the chips get a little soggy. One thing to note is that you can definitely taste the sour cream. Sometimes I can sneak it into recipes and my husband (who hates it) doesn't even notice it's there. I didn't even bother trying to get him to tastes this one because I knew he'd hate it. I love it though and will definitely be making this again. My picky toddlers also liked it.

I've been making a slightly different version of this basic recipe for years. It's always a big hit with both young and old. I use fresh potatoes instead of the frozen hash browns. Then I add red and green bell peppers. The peppers give it good color and flavor. I mix the melted butter in with the soup. I also use cream of mushroom soup instead of the cream of chicken. I use a very good quality cheddar cheese because if you use a cheaper brand it just gets oily and doesn't melt well. I use slightly crushed corn flakes instead of the potato chips. In my opinion it's too salty with chips. For an even heartier, main course version I add cubed ham to this casserole.
