5 cheese russet potato casserole
(1 rating)
I created this recipe to go with my Spiral Ham Dinner a few days ago. I do make a similar version of this dish, but it uses Frozen Hash Browns. In keeping with my theme to clean out the pantry, I chose to use FRESH RUSSET POTATOES, since I had so many. I also had quite a few cheeses that I had bought on sale, & I always have canned soups & sour cream. I added fresh chopped celery & sweet Red & yellow Peppers, along with 2 types of onions, & this dish turned out quite tasty & filling. The crumbled Corn Flakes add extra crunch, & the butter gave it the flavor it needed. Good & Tasty.

How To Make 5 cheese russet potato casserole

1Please Note: As with most casserole dishes, you can add or delete the items you do not like. You CAN ALSO ONLY USE 2 CHEESES if you prefer, but I wanted to build on the flavors and used what I had in the fridge. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. This is the size dish I used for the casserole. -
