Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced into ½" pieces
  • 1 20-oz bag Frozen Shredded Potatoes
  • 1 10-oz can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (save ½ cup to sprinkle on the top before baking)
  • 2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 4-oz cans Diced Green Chiles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray the inside of a 9" x 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently until the onion lightly caramelizes - about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1½ cups shredded cheese, the cooked onions, garlic salt, green chiles, and chicken broth.  Stir until well mixed.  
  • Spread the potato mixture into your prepared 9"x13" baking dish and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese evenly over the top.  
  • Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and lightly golden brown. 
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
