Step-By-Step Instructions

Add the cream of potato soup and sour cream to a large glass bowl.

When Beth shared this recipe with me I was intrigued by adding potato canned soup to a potato dish.

And, trust me, you will love it, because the creamy soup adds so much flavor to this dish.

Next, add 1-1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese to the bowl.

Add 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix everything.

Pour the frozen cubed potatoes into the bowl and mix until covered.

Spread the cubed cheesy potatoes into a 9″ x 13″ greased casserole dish and sprinkle the remainder of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.

Cover the dish with tinfoil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake another 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

If the potatoes are frozen cook for the entire 60 minutes, but if the potatoes are thawed, only cook for 30-40 minutes. Be sure to remove the tinfoil halfway through.
