Mom's Cheese Potatoes were a Sunday staple at our house. It's not hard to see why. They are so yummy, quick and easy to make, and are very inexpensive. You will love this recipe.
Mom’s Cheese Potatoes recipe is one of our most favorite side dishes. We had it for Sunday dinner almost every week when we were growing up.
Now, as a mother myself, I totally understand why we had it so often. Not only is it delicious, it’s extremely easy and very inexpensive to make.
I now follow the pattern of my mother and make this almost every Sunday because it’s a side dish I know I will always have time to throw together, and my kids will love
Ingredients needed to make Mom’s Cheese Potatoes:
- 6 russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons chopped onion
What could I replace the sour cream with?
Plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream. It is the same texture, similar flavors, and works just as great.
The consistency is a little different from sour cream when you cook it.
I feel like the plain Greek yogurt it just a little more thin and liquid when cooked or baked, but all the flavor and creamy texture is there.
We highly recommend switching out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt if watching fat and calorie intake.

I made moms cheesy potatoes but it did not have much flavor. I was not sure what grated cheese to use since it was not indicated. Also I did not know if it was an error and should be shredded cheese so that is what I used. Please let me know what should be used so I can remake it. Thank you.

We loved these! A previous comment said they didn't have flavor but we didn't find that at all. They were full of flavor. Will definitely add as a regular side dish!

I can’t wait to try this one! Question: Does it have bacon in it for the photo? It’s not on the ingredients list, but sure looks like bacon.

Momma Cyd says:
Yes, sometimes we add a little bacon crumbles for flavor.
