Why are Casseroles perfect for a Crowd?
Potatoes are the perfect casserole to make for big get togethers. They are super easy to whip up, and are the perfect filling dish for a crowd. This makes them great for potlucks or gatherings. Potato Casserole is also a popular dish to serve when families get together for all sorts of events.
What is Potato Casserole made of?
Potato Casseroles are made by mixing all of the popular comfort foods together. Such as, potatoes, cheese, and sour cream, then topped with yummy Ritz crackers. Let me tell you the Ritz crackers are what absolutely makes this dish. There is something about adding the buttery crackers to the top that makes this casserole irresistible.
What kind of Potatoes to use for Casseroles?
The potato options are endless. You can use fresh potatoes, and chop or grate them yourself, but you know I love a good easy hack.
The best potatoes are found in the freezer section. You can use the shredded hashbrowns, but I personally prefer the diced frozen potatoes. Frozen Potatoes also saves you the hassle of peeling the potatoes. Trust me, frozen is much easier.
Topping Options for Potato Casserole
Now I personally love the Ritz Cracker topping for, but there are so many other options for topping your potatoes. You can use corn flakes, potato chips, cheese and bacon, or even French onions. The best part about casseroles is they are so flexible and you can make them to fit what you like best.
