THE IRISH POTATOES

My sister gave me this recipe years ago and it has become a staple of our holiday or 'company is coming' type of dinner. It's easy to assemble and can be prepared ahead of time. It pairs well with beef, ham, or chicken. Leftovers, if there are any, reheat well. Everyone always loves 'The Irish Potatoes.' Yes, I know 'The Irish Potatoes' are fattening, but without the butter, whipping cream, and half and half it is just not as good. Substituting margarine or frozen hash browns would be a travesty.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (24 ounce) bag frozen hash browns (I use southern style)
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 (10 3/4 ounce) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups corn flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave frozen hash browns for 4 minutes on high.
  • Stir sour cream, butter, onion,soup, and cheese into potatoes.
  • Spread mixture evenly into a greased 9X13 inch pan.
  • Sprinkle corn flakes over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly around edges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, or red potatoes are all good choices for Irish potatoes. Avoid waxy potatoes like fingerlings or new potatoes, as they will not hold their shape well.
  • Soak the potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before boiling will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, but not so tender that they are falling apart.
  • Drain the potatoes well: Be sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them, or they will be watery.
  • Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer is the best way to get smooth, fluffy mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher, but be sure to do it gently to avoid overworking the potatoes.
  • Add milk and butter gradually: Start with a small amount of milk and butter and add more as needed until the potatoes reach the desired consistency. Adding too much milk or butter can make the potatoes runny.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Salt and pepper are the essential seasonings for mashed potatoes, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, chives, parsley, and nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Irish potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, Irish potatoes are sure to be a hit.
