Cheesy Baked Potato Casserole
There’s nothing better than a cheesy baked potato casserole to be served with your favorite main meal. This is a great side dish to eat with a steak or roast dinner, or as a vegetarian meal. Deliciously cheesy with tender bite size potatoes, a hint of garlic and delicious sour cream making this a super creamy dish that the whole family will enjoy.
This dish could be made with sliced potatoes instead of bite size cubes. More like a scalloped potato dish. Either way, this is delicious!
Usually I would grate cheese for a recipe like this but today I decided grating wasn’t something I felt like doing. So, cutting the cheese into really small chunks worked perfectly. But grated cheese can be used instead.
Funny thing, as I was taking the pictures for this blog post, my son and his girlfriend stopped by. Neither of them could wait until I finished up the pics, they grabbed one of the spoons and started digging in. Seriously, they were full before they even came into the house they ate so much!

What I do with potatoes most of the time if I’m going to use them in a salad or something like this casserole, I boil the potatoes whole with the skins on. Make sure to rinse the potatoes first, put the potatoes into a large saucepan or dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are still firm but when poked with a fork, they are somewhat done. Next, drain the water and set the pan back on the stove and let the potatoes cool. Once cooled and each potato is able to be handled safely, remove the skins from the potatoes. Cut each potato into bite size pieces and mix in with all the other ingredients. Add to a baking dish, bake and then enjoy!

Have never heard of “Slap ya mama” seasoning and have never seen it here in Washington State. Is there anything I can use in its place? Thanks, the casserole looks so good.
Hi Judy, I buy it at Walmart. If you have one near you, you should be able to get it there but you can use 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper if you’d like. :)
