Easier to make that traditional au gratin potatoes, because it’s made with hash brown potatoes, and cream of chicken soup. There are no potatoes to peel and prepare, and no cheese sauce to make.

Pro Tip – Be sure to thaw them on the kitchen counter for 30 minutes before you use them.
Substitution Suggestion – This easy recipe works with all types of frozen or fresh potatoes, including sweet potatoes.
Thicker cut potatoes will alter the cooking time. So, try to stick with a smaller diced or thinly sliced potato. - onions – We like to use ¼ cup of minced onions, but you can add up to 1 cup.
- cream of chicken soup – May substitute cream of celery soup.
- sour cream
- melted butter – May substitute margarine for butter.
