I would say bacon would be good. Chicken too maybe.

If you put it in 2 8x8s instead of the 9×13 do you still cook 1 8×8 for an hour?

Yes, you would want to cook them first.

If you used fresh potatoes, would you cook them before mixing & freezing?

I would say most certainly to using fresh potatoes, they just may need to cook longer.

cheesy potatoes is the name that’s often used in Michigan. I need to start making and freezing some for winter meals. Would it be possible to use fresh potatoes instead of hash browns sometimes?

Definitely not too redundant. You could also try cream of mushroom or celery.

Hmm, do you have any suggestions for replacing the cream of chicken soup to make it vegetarian? Would cream of potato be too redundant?!

Sometimes it is an issue, other times it is not. It is usually more of an appearance issue than a quality issue. I have tried with several recipes like this one without any troubles.

How do the dairy products turn out after freezing? With the soup as a binder does the dairy not really break down? Thanks for posting the freezer side dishes, they are really great for menu planing.

That’s a funny question – the different names. Good idea.

These are a staple for family dinners and to take to grieving families (as they are so easy to heat up whenever) for us too! Yum. If it wasn’t so hot today, I would make some! We call them Scottsdale Potatoes at our house (not sure why?) Does anyone else have a name for them?

This is just about the same as the Ham and hashbrown bake that we made in the April menu, minus the ham. We put cornflakes on ours too, Michelle.

My mom makes those, too. We always have them on Easter (or we did, when I was home). YUUUM.

We LOVE these special taters at our house!

We make a similar recipe except that the cheddar cheese gets mixed throughout the potatoes and we add crushed cornflakes that are mixed with melted butter to the top. Yummmm!
