This cheesy potato casserole is the ultimate comfort food with diced hash brown potatoes in a lusciously creamy Gouda and cheddar cheese sauce, topped with a savory Parmesan Panko bread crumb mixture. It is easy enough for a weeknight meal and tasty enough for guests. This is one of our creamy, dreamy go-to side dishes. It is perfect with so many courses, and everyone loves it. I like to serve it with grilled chicken breast, oven-baked brisket, and mini meatloaves.

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
CHEESY POTATO CASSEROLE
32 ounces frozen diced hash brown potatoes (partially thawed)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, warmed to room temperature
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

How To Make cheesy potato casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour the hashbrowns into the casserole and let them thaw while you work on the rest of the casserole.

Step 2

To make the crumb topping, whisk the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and Panko bread crumbs. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Step 3

Melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, while whisking. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue cooking and whisking several times until thickened.
Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper. Whisk in 11/2 cups shredded cheddar and 3/4 cup shredded Gouda in several increments until smooth.
Step 5

Pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Top with the remaining cheese and the bread crumb mixture. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Step 6

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or thyme.
