Cheesy potatoes and veggies topped with sprinkles of crushed Ritz crackers. Perfect for your holiday dinner or a potluck crowd.
I never told you that this summer I won a recipe photo contest. Because of this contest, I now have a new favorite recipe in my regular menu rotation. We absolutely love this potato dish. It’s creamy, cheesy, flavorful and feeds a BUNCH of people.
Perfect for our church potluck dinners and a holiday dinner dish.
I have ideas to do a twist on this in the future, so that it’s a one-dish meal. I know you can’t wait. But, for now, enjoy it as it is – a side dish. Try not to eat it all, because even though it contains vegetables, I think your waistline may regret you eating the entire pan.
Just a guess.

Oh my word! This looks amazing!! There’s nothing better than cheesy potatoes – except maybe cheesy, creamy potatoes with a Ritz cracker topping! Love this recipe! I’m veggie so I’d have to use cream of mushroom soup or something instead but I’m sure it would still work great!
This definitely looks worth trying and it looks like it could be a one pot meal like it is or by adding some diced ham. Thanks for sharing.
This looks awesome! I love dishes like this. They are always crowd-pleasers!
It’s so creamy!!! Love this dish, Nikki! Pinned!
Yummy!!! Perfect idea for Thanksgiving!
This would make an amazing Shepherd’s Pie with the addition of ground beef! Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to half this (there are only 2 of us) for a weeknight meal.
I love dishes like this! And congrats on the contest!!
Nikki, please make this for our church potluck. It looks absolutely delicious 🙂
I did! 🙂 I think you were gone that week. But, I’ll make it again for sure! 🙂
This looks so bad for you ……. so it must be good! Looking forward to sharing it over the holidays!
Oh goodness, this looks incredible!! Drooling at the thought of it 🙂
I have a question about this… I don’t have hash browns, frozen or otherwise but I have a BIG bunch of potatoes. Do you think it would work just as well if I diced up 3 lbs of fresh potatoes?
