A comforting baked potato dish featuring creamy mushroom, potato, and celery soups combined with hash brown potatoes, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together sour cream, mushroom soup, potato soup, celery soup, onion salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the frozen hash brown potatoes in a baking dish.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 1 1/2 hours until hot and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding some shredded cheese to the mixture before baking. You can substitute the frozen hash browns with fresh grated potatoes, but be sure to pre-cook them slightly. If you want a vegetarian twist, use vegetable broth instead of soups. This dish pairs well with a side of Delicious Creamed Corn for a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this baked potato dish hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad or alongside a protein like grilled chicken or steak. For a complete meal, consider serving it with Sunshine Carrot Salad for a refreshing contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dish ahead of time?

What can I use instead of mushroom soup?
If you don't have mushroom soup on hand, you can substitute with cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce with sautéed mushrooms. This will still provide the creamy texture and flavor you need for the dish.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Yes, to make this dish gluten-free, ensure that the soups you use are labeled as gluten-free. You can also create your own gluten-free cream soup by using cornstarch as a thickening agent instead of flour.
