You can always substitute homemade white sauce for cream-of soup in this kind of recipe. Just add a little more seasoning. |

I make one that originally came from Joy of Cooking. did a quick google search-- this one looks like it:
Food.com Scalloped Potatoes
Ooh, noticed it was missing the minced onions. Need minced onions. I alway add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Could also add some minced bacon too. | |

Making this on Super Bowl Sunday to go with our pulled pork sandwich's-my fam loves these.
Shredded Potatoes au Gratin
frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed-how much depends on you-I use 2 bags for our family of 7
2 cups whipping cream, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, S&P
Combine all ingredients and bake 450 deg. for about half hour.
I top mine with panko mixed with melted butter-not part of the recipe, but I like the crunch and love panko! | |

Sure. It's actually the best one ever:
Ore Ida potatoes, 1 lb. Velveeta, 1 c. mayo and 1/2 lb fried and crumbled bacon. It may even have butter.
Suddenly, cream of doesn't sound so bad, huh?! LOL |

My mom used to make something called "Pittsburgh Potatoes" and they were delicious!
I don't have her recipe handy, but there are several different versions on Cooks.com. Some call for cream of chicken soup, but Mom's did not. I think she used Velveeta when I was little, but there are also recipes that call for using regular cheddar cheese.
Anyway, here is a link to what I "think" her recipe was (or at least pretty close LOL).
Pittsburgh Potatoes
And now that you made me go look it up, I am going to have to make some of these! I have a spiral ham in the fridge that I was planning to cook next week, and these would be perfect with it. | |

I haven't actually made this recipe because my arteries harden just reading it. But it looks really good and comfort food-ish. And I've never seen anything like it, so maybe it could be a new dish for you too.

I'm excited about this suggestion, will try it one day. Love sour cream and potatoes together!
Substitute sour cream for the cream soup. I do this depending on who I am making the dish for.

Instead of the soup, do this:
3T butter
1 clove garlic or one shallot, minced
8 0z package cream cheese
1/2-3/4 cup milk
Melt butter in saucepan and add garlic/shallot and saute for about 1 minute. Cut cold brick of cream cheese in small chunks and add to butter, whisking to melt cheese. Add milk and whisk until you get your desired consistency in the sauce. I would leave it fairly thick.
Use this in place of soup.
Incidently, I use this in any recipe that calls for the soup mix. |

I'll second Scrappower's recipe. I've been making this for years and it is really good. It can be made a day ahead and put in oven when you are ready. |

Cheesy + Potatoes are 2 words that just go together so well!!!
My cousin's wife made the cheesiest creamiest scalloped potatoes for Christmas dinner, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!! It's such a basic recipe you can't even call it a recipe. Just sliced potatoes, garlic, cream and grated Kraft blue box cheddar cheese. The best! Although I would add bacon and maybe onion to it.
My tummy is rumbling now with all this talk about potatoes and cheese, I'm going to have to make some tonight! | |
