Grandma's Potatoes have the yummiest combination of flavors and are the most amazing potatoes I have ever eaten! They are always a huge hit!

Every year while I was growing up, we celebrated Christmas Eve with family at my parent’s house.  It was always a beautiful night of making memories and spending time with our loved ones, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Along with the amazing tradition of seeing family, came the delicious food that we enjoyed year after year. Grandma’s Potatoes were always something that everyone looked forward to!

No matter who tried to recreate this incredible recipe, it always tasted best when my grandma made them. She had a magical touch and cooked them to perfection each and every time. Grandma’s Potatoes would disappear before everyone was able to walk through the buffet line, so she had to start making four pans each year. The fourth pan was secretly put aside so we could have some on Christmas morning. It was perfect because they were already cooked, so we could just warm them up after opening presents.

On the years that we spend Christmas at home,  I’d make Grandma’s Potatoes, and then sometimes again on New Year’s Day. They are by far the best potatoes I have ever had and they are always a crowd pleaser!  I have made them for my in-laws several times and they couldn’t believe how wonderful they tasted. Everyone wanted the recipe! These easy cheesy potatoes would work as a side dish to pineapple glazed ham or super juicy, brined roasted turkey, or as a breakfast side dish. They are very addictive and have the most amazing combination of flavors. Give them a try, and watch them disappear. You will be really happy you made them and might start eating them every single Christmas or holiday season!

Tools used to make this Grandma’s Potatoes recipe

Mixing Bowl: These mixing bowls are perfect for mixing and serving. I love the varied sizes so I always have to right size bowl for all my mixing needs.

Baking Dish: This baking dish is a must-have for any home cook. I actually have 3 of them in my cupboard, and each dish comes with a lid for storing leftovers or taking your dishes on the go.

Wooden Spoon: Wooden spoons are a kitchen essential. I keep a bunch of them on hand for every meal from breakfast to dinner.

        what size bag of hash browns and do you use straight from bag or let them thaw before mixing and then baking – thanks!

          Sandra, I use the 30 oz bag of hash browns. I usually just use them straight from the bag, but you can set them out for a little while before mixing everything together. Enjoy!

            in the recipe for Grandma’s potatoes you have a stick of butter as an ingredient–how much butter would that be in a measuring cup –I am from Ontario Canada and I dont think I will be able to find a stick of butter –the butter comes in bigger blocks ? Thank you Stacey for sharing your Grandma’s recipe !!

    Love these potatos my grandma had made these potatos for as long as I can remember, they were somthing I looked forward too every year. I finally got the recipe about a year before my grandma died. I miss her terribly but I keep her memory alive by makeing theses pretty much every holiday. And I look forward to it cause they taste so good (very addictive). I have to make at least 2 pans when I go to family runions 🙂

    If you add cubed ham, it makes a delicious entree. Serve with salad or hot vegetables and crusty rolls. Great comfort food!

    Hi ~ This looks like a wonderful “comfort food” to try. As a lifelong vegetarian I don’t want to use Cream of Chicken Soup however. Have you ever used Cream of Mushroom as a replacement? Would you recommend that or something else?

    So simple to make and very yummy! I did add salt and pepper to it and I couldn’t find the cheddar french fried onions, so I just used the regular ones, which worked out great. Love this dish. It goes with pretty much any meat, it’s simple to throw together, perfect for a potluck and it’s yummy! What more could you want?

    Has anyone tried dividing this recipe in two and freezing half?
    This looks so yummy and recipes for small 2 and 3 person families are just not as good.
    I suppose after my name I should write ISO great recipes for 2 or 3. LOL

    I give this 5 stars just because it sounds so tasty.
    I want to try these soon as I shop for the diced potatoes, or, maybe I could use the shredded already in my freezer.
    I guess I’ll have a cup o’ soup for lunch because I’m going to try halving the recipe.
    Recipes for 2 aren’t always so tasty wish there was a part in recipes, to scale them for serving sizes.

      Guess what?! Our recipes have the coolest feature, you can adjust the serving size on the recipe card section and it will automatically adjust the portions need! The servings size spot on the recipe card is hyperlinked, when you click on it you can slide to the left or the right, it will go from 1 serving up to whatever you’d like it for.
