Ingredients
  

  • 4 –5 large potatoes peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or a cheddar-mozzarella blend
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom for vegetarian
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 1 cup cornflakes or crushed Ritz crackers for topping

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Peel and slice the potatoes thinly (about ⅛ inch). Use a mandolin for speed and even slices.
  • In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, ¼ cup melted butter, salt, pepper, and half the cheese. Stir until smooth.
  • Layer potatoes in the dish, followed by some creamy mixture and chopped onions. Repeat until everything is used, ending with the sauce on top.
  • Top with remaining cheese. Mix crushed cornflakes or Ritz with 1–2 tbsp melted butter and sprinkle over the top. Add Parmesan if using.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45–55 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes until golden and bubbling.
  • Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
