Southern style cheesy potatoes are a favorite for any meal. This easy potato casserole is made with hash browns, sour cream, cheddar cheese and topped with crushed cornflakes. Serve them for dinner with ham, beef, or pork or as part of a hearty breakfast or brunch.
This is a very popular potato recipe in our family and anytime anyone brings a dish to pass, this one is always requested.
There have even been occasions where we have needed to make two pans because everyone likes these potatoes so much.
This makes a nice side dish when served with ham steaks for brunch, pork steaks or hamburgers. It is a versatile recipe and definitely qualifies as comfort food.
“I make these all the time. I add bacon bits, or I switch up the cream soup. Sometimes I put bread crumbs on top” – Sherri via FB
