Beth’s Hash-Brown Potato Casserole

There are as many versions of this casserole as there are southern cooks and church cookbooks. Beth’s is a compilation of several. I like the potatoes shredded instead of cubed and not as much butter as some recipes have (don’t worry, there’s still plenty!).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

2 pounds large red potatoes, peeled
2 cups sour cream
10 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 10-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 13 × 2-inch casserole dish.

    Step 2

    Use the large holes of a box grater or the grating blade of a food processor to shred the potatoes into a large bowl. Add the sour cream, cheese, soup, onion, salt, and pepper. Turn the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the crushed crackers. Pour the melted butter over the top of the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 minutes more, or until lightly browned on top.

  2. From Beth

    Step 3

    If you’re in a hurry, substitute a 2-pound bag of frozen hash browns, thawed, for the red potatoes.
