1. Very easy and yummy. I used 2 pounds of fresh diced potatoes and increased the cooking time by about 10 minutes and it was perfect! I substituted cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom and it was delicious. I also doubled the onions and I used margarine instead of butter. My only comment is the casserole was quite oily - maybe that was because I used margarine. I think you could sugnificantly cut back on the margarine (maybe even eliminate it altogether) because the soup and sour cream mixture provides plenty of moisture. I also topped the casserole with another small handful of cheese when there was about 10 minutes of cooking time left. Bottom line - a big time hit at my house! Rich, creamy and cheesy!

2. Yummy potatoes, in a great cheesy sauce! I used fresh diced potatoes. Added a t garlic powder. I cut the butter to 1/4 cup and raised the onions to 1/2 cup. This is a very good side for most any dinner! The cream of chicken soup gives this a very good flavor. Thanks, Tara for a keeper!!

3. I thought this was a good recipe. We left out the onion because we don't like onions. We always substitute with onion powder or dried minced onions... It needed some salting at the table, but it was a crowd pleaser!

4. I lost my original recipe for this great casserole, and this is the closest to it. I do have a couple of changes to add that you might like. First, I double everything to make a bigger batch (trust me, it'll get eaten!). Second, I don't put butter IN the casserole. I melt a stick of butter and mix it with a sleeve of Ritz crackers crushed, and that goes on the top of the casserole for a delicious crunchy topping that you can't WAIT to get to! Third, I use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken. Fourth, I don't thaw the potatoes. Just mix it all together and toss it in the oven. It WILL bake about 2 hours, give or take 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven. This is a WONDERFUL dish that will make your house smell INCREDIBLE as it bakes. You'll be so anxious to eat this casserole, you won't believe it!! Enjoy!!

5. Had some for breakfast this morning, cold - right out of the frig. I had to leave out the onions because my son is here visiting this week. I used half the butter and substituted cheddar cheese soup. I couldn't resist using the rest of a 2 cup bag of cheese to sprinkle on top. A delightful any easy way to dress up ye olde potatoes!

1. My family loves cheese and potatoes in any form. The only thing I did differently was added 2cups of cheese instead of 1. I used a cheddar mix and mozzarella cheeses. I added some Italian bread crumbs on top YUM!!

2. I made this in a double batch and forgot to put the onions in it. I had a couple substitutions and it turned out pretty amazing. #1 - I used one can of Cream of Chicken and one 8oz package of cream cheese. #2 - I sprinkled about one cup of Colby Jack shreds on top of the mix. #3 - I saved all the butter and melted the 1/2 cup and poured it over the top of Crushed Salt and Pepper Kettle Chips. Baked approx. 75 minutes. Definitely a winner.

3. I used O'Brien Potatoes with onions and peppers and omitted the onion in the recipe. It was excellent.

4. Delicious recipe, used it for a base recipe for a potluck but changed a few things because I needed it in a crock pot. First I doubled it, and accidently got southern style hash browns for one of my 2lb bags of potatoes. I can't eat cream of chicken soup, so I substituted a can of cream of potato and cheddar cheese soup with a little chicken broth for flavor. Added a little milk, more butter, and only used the recommended amount of sour cream but added some mayo to keep it creamy. Added a tiny bit of chives to the pot, and a lot to my own bowl. Left out the onion but added a little minced onion, also added a dash of garlic salt, parsley, and paremesan cheese. added more butter, mayo, milk, or chicken broth as needed to keep it from drying out as it cooked in the crockpot. Ended up somewhere between casserole and potato soup. Very tasty though.

5. I changed this a bit. Used fresh potatoes, replaced the cream soup with half a brick of cream cheese and a little chicken broth, left out onion, added garlic and onion powders as well as some salt. It was a bit oily, but i drained it off and it tasted great! Would be fantastic with a little roasted broc and crumbled bacon on top. Took to a playdate potluck and it was GONE quick.
