Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add the drained potatoes to the mixture, folding them in gently to avoid breaking them apart.
  5. Next, mix in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and the green onions, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese on top, followed by a drizzle of melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
