I am this excited to share today’s Week of Thanksgiving Favorites recipe with you: Party Potatoes Deluxe!
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! (Hey, there’s a time and a place for multi exclamation points, and this is definitely it!)
Party Potatoes Deluxe is my Mom’s specialty potato dish that she serves every year for not only Thanksgiving, but also Christmas, Easter and every special occasion in between. I can’t remember a single holiday over the last 25+ years where it hasn’t been served.
In case you hadn’t picked up on it, butter puts the deluxe in Party Potatoes Deluxe. And the party, for that matter. It gives the creamy dish a rich and decadent flavor, and the crushed cornflake crumbs on top an audible crunch.
While mashed potatoes & gravy will always have their place at the Thanksgiving table, my family will always make room for Party Potatoes Deluxe!

This ultimate potato dish is definitely a bit high on the calorie scale, but for a special holiday, it’s worth the splurge. Hope you’ll give it a shot (I know Iowa Mom Eats would be very pleased!)
Wow! That looks delicious! I may have to shake up my plan for a simple potato side dish this week… But I will definitely have to do a 30-10-20 workout to offset it. Thanks for the delicious looking recipe!
Oh man those look to die for! I think you just inspired me to make some cheesy potatoes for dinner tonight :)
Those look amazing! I was just thinking about the year difference…my now-husband proposed on Nov. 21 last year and took me totally by surprise, so a year ago today, I was just hanging out with my boyfriend, getting ready for our first trip to Disney World together over Thanksgiving! Little did I know. :)
That’s so exciting! What a year! :)
Love the potatoes–except I usually have about 1/3 of the pan on my plate, not a tiny scoop like yours! We do make them with light or reduced fat sour cream and they taste the same, don’t use fat-free or they will turn out –not right!
My mom makes a totally similar casserole too!!! It’s one of my favoriteeeeeee holiday treats for sure :)
I make those, but with crushed lays potato chips instead of cereal. A million times better.
Life is pretty much completely different from a year ago…we moved to a new city in a different state, we are not working our crappy jobs anymore and my husband now has a job position that will lead to advancement, etc…life is pretty darn good at the moment! : )
These look like my Grandma’s “Company Potatoes”…yummy!
My family calls these Heart Attack Potatoes. :) But they are SOOOO good! (I always make them with reduced fat sour cream and soup and they are still to die for)
those look amazing!
my life is 100% different than it was a year ago. New city, new job, new boyfriend, 15 lbs lighter, became a runner, learned to cook. so totally new life & I’m loving it!
Oh…wow. My jaw hit my desk. Just reading about the “crunch” made me want to make a batch right now! Nothing beats a mean batch of crunchy, cheesy potatoes.
…too funny about the exclamation points. Sometimes I just have to laugh when I read my first blog posts. Writing really makes you realize how quickly we change!
Definitely going to have to try this! Have you ever tried making it with reduced fat sour cream, cheese, and soup? Just (or almost) as good?
I’ve never tried it! Too afraid to mess with such a good thing, but I bet it wouldn’t be bad!
That’s my husband’s favorite dish! He can eat a whole pan himself. Our recipe (cheesy potatoes) is slightly different – either use sour cream (8oz) and a packet of onion soup mix or the pre-made french onion dip.
I’ve never seen potatoes like this before! It looks really yummy! :)
okay ige – have you ever tried this recipe (evil evil) – with French’s fried onions instead of cornflakes? – Oh yeah baby!
Life is so odd – you think, oh – I’m grown up and this is who I am – bam! Our daughter won’t be home for turkey day, wow, huh? – and bam! first foreclosure and the the big storms this year have driven us into an apartment. We have changed and I kind of like it. :)
yayy so glad you added a pin button! cuzzz I pin almost every one of your recipes! lol
Holy hell that looks amazing!
My mom makes the exact same ones – but we just call them “those delicious potatoes with the cornflakes on top.” ;) They are amazeballs!!!!
We make a similar recipe but I think it’s known as hash brown casserole? So very good! My life is very different from one year ago. THis time last year I was working a different job (adoption social worker) and starting treatments with a fertility Dr. to help us get pregnant. Now I am a nanny for two adorable kiddos and I AM pregnant. Blessed!
Congratulations Brittnie!!
I love those type of potatoes! I have never made them but my Mother in Law does often and I always eat extra ;)
Nothing is too different from last year at this time, except that I am taking a break from running and trying to add more weight routines into my workouts. Everything else is the same old.
