Party Potatoes Deluxe are a staple side dish at my family's holiday get-togethers. Creamy, cheesy, crunchy, and irresistible!

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!)

Do you think I can double the recipe and fit it all in a 4” deep roasting pan?
2 questions — can I double and make in a 9×13? And can I make the night before Easter and bake in the morning? Same oven temp and time?
You can definitely make ahead (though make the cornflakes fresh day of,) and you might need a little extra baking time – my Mom doubles all the time with no issues!
Crowd pleaser potato’s! That’s what my mother called this amazing dish. You can cut calories by using light sour cream and 2 % cheese. Also cut sodium by using healthy request cream of chicken soup. I add fresh ground pepper and onion powder to taste. Enjoy!
Question: Can these be frozen for later use? (love the recipe and sometimes want to make double at a time)
I can’t find country style hash browns at the store – can I use regular ones?
That should work just fine!
Can I use cream is potato soup instead?
Sure! Or you could try cream of mushroom.
I love these potatoes. So if I want to make these to fit in a 9 x 13 pan I will have to double the recipe??
Yep, exactly! I’ll actually have the full-sized version going up in a new recipe post tomorrow, 11/18! :)
Make this all the time….always goes over really well…good left over too!
My mom makes something very similar. She calls her “Kansas City style potatoes”. No idea why.
I was just reminiscing about having Party Potatoes at the Grinnell College dining hall. I wish they offered your “Deluxe” version!
we just call them mom’s potatoes and make them every year. do not use toppings and they seem to fit a 9/13 pan quite easily. lost the original recipe when i moved but can use recipes on line…..
You can run 7.5 mph on a treadmill ???? wow good for you
Hello, Iowa!)
I have a question and it’s very important for me)
The photo of your mom’s potatoes just crushed me! And I want to cook it myself so much) But this ingredient “1lb country-style frozen hash browns, thawed”… I don’t know what it is, I live in Russia and there is no anything like that in our shops. What can replace that? Might it be grated potatoes? Or chopped?
Thank you very much in advance!)
