Recipes3 Delicious Cheesy Potato Side Dish Recipes
As a busy mother and wife, I was always looking for a variety of potato side dish recipes to make for our family dinners. Our daughter grew up loving all kinds of potato dishes from the time she was small...and still loves them now as an adult.
All of these recipes are easy to prepare with readily available ingredients and all 3 of them require some type of cheese.
Cheesy Hash Brown Potatoes Casserole
1 large bag frozen hash browns
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 ounce container sour cream
8 ounce bag shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup corn flakes
Mix melted butter, chopped onions, cream of chicken soup and sour cream in a medium-sized bowl. Place hash browns in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Pour the sauce over the hash browns. Top with cheese and corn flakes. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes.
Cheesy Mashed Potato Bake
4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups water
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups instant mashed potato flakes
8 oz. package Velveeta cheese
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the milk, water, butter and salt to a boil. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in the potato flakes and remove from heat. Pour mixture into a 2 quart baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Cheesy Bacon Potatoes
7 large potatoes, cooked
1/4 lb. bacon
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 cup mayonnaise
paprika and black pepper to taste
Boil potatoes until done and let cool. In a large skillet, brown up your bacon and cut into pieces. Reserve bacon grease and set aside. Cube your potatoes and place into a large bowl. Lightly stir in the chopped onion, mayonnaise, cheese cubes and 1 teaspoon bacon drippings. Toss lightly to coat all ingredients. Transfer mixture to a large glass baking dish. Top with bacon pieces, paprika and black pepper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until done.
