My post about family get togethers made me think about one of my favorite take along recipes. This time of year brings lots of family gatherings and holiday parties. Many times I am asked to bring my favorite side dish.

My favorite side dish is called Cheesy Potatoes. I was given the original recipe years ago by a friend, but I sometimes make it my own by adding in ingredients like finely chopped prosciutto or crumbled bacon. As with any recipe, I suggest experimenting with it to make it to your family’s taste.

Cheesy Potatoes

(This is super easy and a HUGE hit for any potluck, family reunion or other event you have to go to)
 
2 pounds frozen tater tots, thaw and break apart (Use your hands, it’s easier!)
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pint of sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
About 4 finely chopped green onion (
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
 
Mix the butter, soup, sour cream, onion, salt and pepper together with the smashed tater tots. Then mix in cheese and press into a GREASED 9×13 pan or a 3 quart casserole. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until bubbly and starts to slightly brown.

Every time I make this I have several people ask me for the recipe. Do you have a favorite recipe that is your “go to” for family reunions or other potluck events?
