Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the broccoli cheese soup, sour cream, hot pepper sauce, quartered red potatoes, and wedged onions.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 2-quart baking dish.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of cream cheese or using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You can substitute the red potatoes with Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes for a different flavor. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the hot pepper sauce or omit it altogether. This New Potato Bake can also be enhanced with herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
This New Potato Bake pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. It can also be served as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or beef. For a more substantial dinner, consider pairing it with a hearty protein like roasted salmon or a vegetarian protein option.
