Au Gratin Potatoes

This recipe is crazy easy and delicious! I used cream of mushroom and cream of bacon for the 2 soups. I added Lawrys seasoning salt and lots of pepper. Plus added chopped green onions on top after baking. It was a huge hit and will keep this as my main “potato “ side dish.

Give it 4.5 stars. I dont’ think it needs the green pepper, might be good to put chives on top at the end. I used reduced fat sour cream, It was still, very creamy. I did mix the potatoes with the soup mixture after it baked for 60 min, then added the cheese. Needed salt and pepper.

Good, but was disappointed at the lack of browning. I had read other reviews, and decided to mix everything before putting it into the dish. Baked as directed. Since it was pale, I added 1/2 cup milk over the top (to keep it moist) and put it into the oven at 350 for 15-20 mins. Much better. Good recipe – no changes except for at the end – more time in the oven. Thank you for sharing this EASY recipe!

I made this dish for a funeral and I was happy with the results, I will make again. I sauteed the onion in a little butter and combined all ingredients before putting in the dish to bake. Some reviews said this dish needed seasoning. I disagree. I used a cooking onion, not a sweet onion, about the size of a clementine and the dish was flavorful, just needs fresh ground pepper.

Meh… it was okay. It’s lacking something zingy that would make it better. I’d look for a different potato recipe next time.

Made these for Christmas and everyone loved them!

VERY good. I usually don’t like ‘shortcut’ type recipes, but decided to try this one and was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was. My entire family enjoyed it and I will definitely be making this again. Next time I will likely leave out the bell pepper as we just felt like it overwhelmed the dish – just personal preference. Also, I did mix all ingredients together (except cheese) instead of layering to make sure they were well blended. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I mixed all the ingredients together except the hash browns. After everything was well mixed, I added the hash browns. I also added a little bit of Mrs.Dash and some black pepper. I stirred everything all together, making sure all the hash browns where well coated then placed everything in a baking dish to bake. These where better than mashed potatoes.

I use cream of celery and cream of onion soup. Added crumbled bacon bits. I also mixed everything together before baking. Everyone loved it!

This is very good! I did leave out the green pepper but I could see it being good with it too! I will make this again!

I heart this recipe so simple and easy. All ways a hit for potluck dinners. I did make some changes as I’ve gotten more comfortable w/this dish. Like others I mix cream of celery or mushroom and chicken, half stick of butter, an egg a little chicken seasoning, mix in a bag of Colby/Monterey Jack and and a cook on the stove top for maybe 10 mins to tenderize the frozen potatoes and melt butter while mixing all the ingredients. Adding the sour cream to mix before transferring to the Pyrex. For me this cuts the baking time which aids in reducing dryness. Cover w/foil bake on 350 for an hour. Stir, add sharp cheddar and motzerlla cheese and bake uncovered for an additional 20 mins. Enjoy!

A delicious recipe as a dinner side dish, and very easy. Here are a few tips and/or modifications that I made that I feel enhanced this recipe. First and foremost, I do not add green peppers. The taste is a bit overpowering, and it becomes more potatoes O’Brian than au gratin. Secondly, I add whatever 2 “cream of” soups I have available. Chicken, celery, mushroom, you get the drift… Third, I add the 1/4 c. of milk that everyone is talking about to the mix. It really does make it less dry. Fourth, I cook it with a foil covering for the 1st hour. A couple of tips that I’ve found: To grease the pan- Take a cold stick of butter and run it along the inside of the pan, into the corners especially, and all over the bottom of the pan. Coat the entire inside of the pan with your butter stick before adding ingredients. My potatoes have never stuck, and it’s because of this old trick my Nana showed me. Cut peeled fresh potatoes in the food processor (or by hand if you must) into 1/4″ rounds. In my opinion, this is what really makes the dish.

I thought it turned out good but needs something, mabe bacon. I went out and got a new glass pan that seem a little too big. I would also add salt and pepper to the mix.

This was a great recipe and my first time making au gratin potatoes from scratch. The only difference is I used real potatoes and baked at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. My fiancee really enjoyed the green pepper addition. Definitely a great potato side dish that I will be making for a long time. Whether you’re using hashbrowns or real potatoes make sure to mix them with the other ingredients, don’t just pour over it otherwise it won’t come out right. I also added salt and pepper for a bit of seasoning.

I made this for Christmas dinner, thinking it would save me some time. And it did, but the dish was not as good as I expected from the reviews. I did make it as the recipe said to, so perhaps I’ll give it another chance sometime, incorporating ideas others have shared. In the meantime, I’ll keep looking.

Cant say I would call this au gratin potatoes, but I didn’t think it would be made with hash browns. It also is not the best hash brown casserole I have ever had. We found it very bland and I added 4 times to amount of cheese plus salt and pepper. Will not make it again, easy isn’t always best.

It was good. Oddly enough, my husband and I thought it actually tasted better the second day on re-heat. I would make it again because it was so easy. I did change the recipe after reading lots of reviews: – Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom – Obrien potatos with diced green bellpeppers and onions already in the mix. – Sharp cheddar cheese – mixed 1 cup of cheese with the mix and sprinkled more cheese on top at the end with French Fried Onions This took quite a while to cook. The directions said to pour the mixture over the potatoes, but did not say to mix. However, after cooking for 60 minutes, I realized that I needed to mix the potatoe and mixture together.

My wife and I really like this recipe. I use this instead if mashed potatoes as a topper to my Shepard’s pie VI (from this site). I cut the recipe in half and use cream of celery soup and cream of mushroom soup ( save leftover soups in a Ball mason jar in fridge). I leave out the green peppers and onions because I put onions in my Shepard’s pie. Using this recipe is much easier than the mashed potato topping called for in the Shepard’s pie recipe and very Tasty!

This dish came out perfect the first time, all the ingredients were very easy to prepare. This was the first time in a long time we did not have any left overs at all. Will add this recipe to my regular dinner menu

I tried what some reviews suggested and mixed the sauce with the potatoes. The taste was fine, but the sauce spread out on the plate. This could be due to using potatoes that weren’t fully thawed.,,not sure.

Great Recipe!! My husband said these potatoes were awesome. I did not have cream of potato soup so I used the celery soup and a can of cheddar cheese soup. Turned out perfect!! Thanks for the recipe, its a keeper!!
