There is nothing more comforting than a warm casserole at the end of the day. This Baked Potato Casserole is the definition of delicious comfort food, and is such a great twist on one of our favorite family dinners, baked potatoes.
They are so easy to make, and come together in just a few minutes.
We serve these for breakfast and take out the chicken, but they also make an amazing side dish. My husband loves when we have steak for dinner, and I cook up these potatoes.
They are quick, simple, delicious, and full of flavor. You will love them. My kids like to put ketchup on them, but I like them as is, all smothered in cheesy goodness.
What could I replace the heavy whipping cream with?
This recipe calls for heavy whipping cream, but you could easily replace it with something else.
We recommend using sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt. Milk would also work, it just won’t thicken up as well.
We have only made this recipe using heavy whipping cream, but in similar recipes, I have used sour cream or plain Greek yogurt in place of heavy whipping cream, and it always turns out amazing.
The flavor may be just a little different, but still delicious.
Add a little more flavor:
This dish is delicious as is, however, I like to add a little ranch seasoning mix to give it just a little extra flavor. It is so yummy with a little kick of ranch seasoning mix.
Would any potato work for this recipe?
For this recipe, we used russet potatoes, however, really any potato would work for this recipe. I have never made it using sweet potatoes because I usually use russet potatoes.
I have made this recipe using mini red potatoes and it was absolutely scrumptious. You can also peel the potatoes, or keep the skin on. I like the texture of the skin, so I usually keep it on.
You could also use golden yukon potatoes. My friend makes this recipe and shreds golden yukon potatoes and they are so delicious.

Woah! Now, you’re talking! This would go over really well in my home. I bet it smells amazing cooking in the oven. It seems really hearty and easy to make. Thanks!
Yum – thank you!
I’m sure this is a silly question that I already know the answer to, but do you put raw or cooked chicken in?
Are there any substitutes you recommend for the heavy whipping cream (like a healthy alternative)? Could I use low fat sour cream instead?
Ha! I wondered the same thing, but I have decided that everything goes in raw because of how long it will actually cook. you could probably precook every;thing and reduce cooking time.
Hi Kellie! We have only made this recipe as written. So we aren’t sure how sour cream would work as a substitute in this recipe.
The chicken is raw and diced.
This sounds lovely. Going to give this a go. thanks for sharing this recipe.

Any suggestions for converting this to a crock pot recipe? How would I change timing etc?
Sounds good!! I would prefer chicken thighs. How could I adjust for those?
The chicken breasts are diced in this recipe. We added diced chicken to cook through easily. You can cut the chicken off the thighs to get 1 pound of diced chicken or just add in chicken thighs. Watch closely on the cook time.
It looked like you used a 1 cup measuring cup for the whipping creme but you said 1/2 cup?
You’ll be fine sticking to the recipe, but if your potatoes are a little big then feel free to add in a little more whipping cream.
