Description
When it comes to gathering friends and family for a barbecue, game day, or potluck, Sour Cream and Onion Party Potatoes are a must-have side dish that never fails to impress.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup crushed buttery crackers or breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and dry onion soup mix until smooth.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the sauce mixture and stir gently until all potatoes are coated evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the coated potatoes into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- If using, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese for a crunchy topping.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced potatoes to ensure even cooking and tender bites.
- Softened cream cheese blends better into the sauce for a smooth texture.
- Dry onion soup mix adds savory depth but you can substitute with fresh sautéed onions and garlic.
