Cheesy Potato Casserole
This is an excellent potato side dish, easy to prepare, common ingredients, and delicious! I made this on 8 Nov 2023 and this well liked by the family.
Equipment
- Baking Pan (9x13 inch)
- Oven
Ingredients
- 6 large potatoes, peeled, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250-450 grams Cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded, (8-16 oz)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¾ cup half and half cream, or milk
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour, plus water to make a smooth and creamy mixture
- 1-2 sleeves butter crackers, crushed
- butter, cut into small pieces, as needed
Instructions
- In a pot, add the potatoes, onion, and salt. Add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft but firm. Drain.
- Add drained potatoes to a 9x13 baking dish, spread out evenly. Now preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F).
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the half and half, cheese, and black pepper. Place on low heat, stir often. I used 450 grams (1 lb) of cheese.
- In a measuring cup, add the flour and just enough water to make a smooth and creamy mixture. Stir this into the cheese mixture and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
- Top the potatoes with crushed butter crackers. Add pieces of butter over the top of the crackers. I skipped adding the butter, potatoes still turned out excellent.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve as a side dish with your favorite meal, enjoy.
