Party Potatoes Deluxe are a staple side dish at my family's holiday get-togethers. Creamy, cheesy, crunchy, and irresistible!
Try my gluten free version of party potatoes!
I am this excited to share today’s Week of Thanksgiving Favorites recipe with you: Party Potatoes Deluxe!
Look up “irresistible” in the dictionary, and you’ll find this creamy, cheesy, crunchy side dish.
Party Potatoes Deluxe is my Mom’s specialty potato dish that she serves every year for every major holiday.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and every special occasion in between are not complete unless there’s a big, bubbling casserole dish of these cheesy potatoes present.
I can’t remember a single holiday over the last 25+ years where it hasn’t been served!
In case you haven’t guessed, 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.
That said, this ultimate potato dish is definitely a bit high on the calorie scale, but for a special holiday, it’s worth the splurge.
While mashed potatoes and gravy will always have their place at the Thanksgiving table, my family will always make room for Party Potatoes Deluxe!
Hope you’ll give it a shot (I know Iowa Mom Eats would be very pleased!)

Oh my God, this is so good looking and I want it now! Simple, filling, satisfying.
Double it and use a 9×13 pan and that should work too – yummy – french fried onions on top are my favorite too! :)
This is almost the exact recipe of my fave brunch/potluck potato dish. My recipe happens to have the addition of cream cheese and doesn’t use the cream of chicken. UBER YUMMY! (Just made them today for church as a matter of fact). Think I’ll have to try this recipe too and compare. :)
Hi there! How much cream cheese and how? Ty
I tried it with brummel and brown, fat free sour cream, low fat cheese, healthy choice cream of celery, and fiber one flakes. It was STILL sooo good. Thanks for an awesome recipe! I also added parsley and garlic for extra flavor (since I booted the fatty flavor lol)
This is a favorite in our world especially on Christmas and Easter
I was scared that these things contained a TON of butter. Maybe I’ll make a light version this year… but they won’t taste anything like yours!
This is BY FAR one of my FAV ways to have potatoes, and we always seem to make them for Easter. But I’m a FREAK about having good ole mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. I think this is all due to the fact that the first Tgiving I spent with my boyfriend’s (now husband’s) family THEY.DIDN’T.HAVE.MASHED POTATOES.GASP!!!! (who does that???) Trust me, I have NEVER let that happen again!
I make these potatoes for work potlucks and family get-togethers. They are ALWAYS a hit, and the dish is always swiped clean! If you don’t have cornflakes on hand, crushed Ritz crackers make a great substitute.
My mom makes this all the time for us at home mostly with steak dinners or for holidays. Instead of cornflakes she uses potato chips. Nothing fancy just regular potato chips with the butter on top. So good!!!! happy to see another good recipe on here
This is the same recipe our church uses for our annual fall bazaar ham ball dinner. We all make pans of potato casserole to serve along with the ham balls. It is the yummiest I’ve ever had! Great….now I want some even though I just weaned myself off of it!
My mom makes this for Christmas and Thanksgiving, too! Looooove it!
Glad to know I’m not the only one who loves the word blerg . . . I’m such a dork I have it on my license plate :-)
That. is. AWESOME! :D
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!
