This recipe is definitely perfect for potlucks. Everyone will fall in love with this and they will gather around your dish the moment you put it on the table. It will be gone in minutes! Serve this with salad or bread and it’s a complete meal! I definitely want to eat this right after it comes out of the oven, but I swear this also tastes great after it has cooled down a bit. Our friend over at Food.com has this to say about this recipe:
“This is a dish my family and friends ask me to bring to potluck/cook-outs! NEVER any left to bring home! (my sister brings a bowl to take what MIGHT be left) Taste great hot out of the oven or “room temperature”.”
I love the texture of newly baked food. For me, its flavor is at its best if it’s just newly cooked. However you want to eat this though, you’ll still enjoy it.

Potato salas
Looks good.
I think you could also do this with hash browns, there is a similar recipe to cook hashbrowns. Either or, it is a delicious combination. 🙂
I have used hashbrowns and it is not as good. In fact, I boil 7 large brown potatoes and when cooked , I shred them. I use sour cream and a can of cream of chicken soup in my recipe, it is the best. Oh yeah lots of shredded cheddar cheese and green onions.
Miracle whip and mayo are two different tastes. What do you use?
Depends on what you and your family like. They both work. Miracle whip just has more of a sweet flavor because of its sugar content
I use Dukes Mayonnaise. It the best.
helliman’s mayonaisse. A friend who did not like potato salad (made with Miracle whip) loved my basic potato salad made with Hellman’s. And I use white pepper.
Whichever you usually use. It’s a taste thing….☺️
Miracle whip always!
Mayonnaise is salty, Miracle whip is sweet. Both are good, but…I would use mayonnaise.
Blue Plate is the ONLY mayo!
I make this and use the southern style hash browns. They are small cubes.
How many pounds??mix with frozen potatoes??
Cream of chicken soup instead of mayo too
I make this same recipe with cauliflower instead of potatoes. So good!!
Me too!?
I use Marzetti’s Blue Cheese Dressing, not Mayonnaise. I sprinkle a little Blue Cheese Crumbles on top with the bacon, cheese & green onion too. Delicioso!
Sounds awesomely delicious! I must try this version as I love blue cheese too!!
Please post your recipe!
Red or russet potatoes?
I use red potatoes. I also do mine in a cooler. TAILGATE POTATOES. GREAT FOR FOOTBALL PARTY’S OR OUTINGS.
looks like hash brown casserole my daughter makes and it always disappearing fast at our family meals do she started doubleing the recipe but still disappears
It would be more helpful to state how many POUNDS of potatoes are needed for this recipe. Since potatoes are varied in size, “8 potatoes” really tells us nothing.
Funny as I would prefer this. I have no idea what the pounds are unless 5 or 10 lb bags
I agree!
Oh for the love of God, just use your judgement!
I don’t think it makes a difference if you’re 1 potato short
What a sweet story!!
Tbis looks delicious!!! Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much for the sweet, touching story and recipe!!!!
May God bless you!!
Thank you, Elaine 🙂
If I sub hash browns, will one bag be enough?
yes, one bag of Orida hashbrowns is what I use
I Like the cauliflower idea.With all that cheese I would add another couple of veggies
& serve with a relish tray; that has pickled beets pickled okra celery black olives.
I saw a recipe very similar to this one earlier today….about the only thing different was the size of the potatoes I’m a potato salad nut. This sounds soooo good…….for the past few years I’ve been experimenting with the other veggies, and really like them. I’m going to try this soon.
Pat Adams, do you have a good potato salad recipe that you would share?
Why can’t any of your recipes be printed out. I am going to make this but i would love to print the recipe out
Do you have a printer, Donna? If so, then you most definitely can print our recipes by highlighting the portion of the recipe you’d like to print.
You sure don`t make it easy to print plus there is no name for the recipe and has a blue million advertizing in between which credits wasteful spaces in between print, why can`t you put a small area at bottom with title and recipe and a print area?
Highlight the area you want to print…problem solved 🙂
Lovely story. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you.
Rude.
Good grief, just call it what you want….be creative and stop complaining. At least she gave you a FREE receipe. Now, say, “thank you”, and scroll on..
Good day and Merry Christmas!
I was thinking the same thing. BaaaHaaa
This sounds delicious. I will be making it and I’m positive there won’t be any left.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a cook and I had no problems figuring out the recipe.
Be blessed

Looks Absolutely Delicious!! ?

I have been making the same recipe since my MIL taught me years ago. Easy peasy, 1 lg bag of frozen hash browns ( defrosted cooks up nicer ) recently found some hash browns made with mash potatoes, have even used tater tots cut into smaller pieces. 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 1 bunch of green onions, white and green cut ( my daughter uses 1 can of mild green chilis ) 1 stick of butter melted, 8 oz. sour cream, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese ( I use mild, daughter uses sharp ) mix all together, save some cheese to put on top.Pour into casserole dish, (at this point my daughter adds cooked shredded chicken, friends have also used sausage links, ham, whatever they have ) Cook at 350 for 45 mins, if potatoes are frozen, cook longer. yum. always a pot luck favorite at work!
Please, please let us know how many pounds of potatoes to use! Red potatoes and russet potatoes are totally different sizes.
Russet potatoes usually weigh between 5.5 – 6 ounces each. Proceed accordingly.
Just wondering if this could be put together the night before and baked the next day?
Sounds so good! I know it’s going to be a hit when I make it for the next church luncheon! 🙂
