Vicki Mckeever'S Potato Supreme
Creamy, cheesy potato casserole with a crispy top, perfect for family dinners or potlucks, offering comforting flavors and a hearty texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Grate the boiled potatoes coarsely.
- Mix the grated potatoes with melted butter, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, sour cream, and pepper in a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish.
- Bake the mixture at 350°F for 35 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a mix of Greek yogurt and sour cream. If you're short on time, pre-grated cheese can save you some effort, but shredding your own will provide better melting. For added flavor, try incorporating garlic powder or using a mix of cheeses, like Monterey Jack. This dish is a great way to use up leftover potatoes from a previous meal.
Serving Suggestions
Potato Supreme is a hearty dish that pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Consider serving it alongside grilled meats or as a comforting side for roasted chicken. For an extra touch, garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving. This dish also makes a great potluck contribution or family gathering centerpiece.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dish back in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions on medium power, stirring occasionally, until heated evenly. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Potato Supreme ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this dish a day ahead. Assemble the ingredients in the baking dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove the wrap and add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it heats through completely.
Can I substitute the Cheddar cheese?
Absolutely! While Cheddar is traditional, you can use any cheese you prefer, such as Gruyère for a nuttier flavor or a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan for a different taste profile. Mixing cheeses can enhance the overall flavor and texture of the dish.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Medium starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are ideal as they hold their shape well and provide a fluffy texture when baked. Avoid waxy potatoes, as they may become too mushy. If you're looking for a healthier option, try using sweet potatoes for a twist on the classic flavor.
