Easy Green Chile Queso Potatoes Recipe

I first made these cheesy potatoes in hopes I could come up with an alternative to a standard potato casserole to serve at a covered dish get-together. These potatoes had a little something special using queso for the sauce and adding in canned green chiles. The beauty of these types of casseroles is that you can turn them into a one dish meal with the addition of cooked chorizo sausage, cooked ground beef or even chopped rotisserie or roasted chicken. They’re an ooey gooey side dish you can serve at any meal. How to make Queso Potato Casserole with hash browns:

• Potatoes – Frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed.
• Sauce – Whole milk or half and half.
• Cheese – White American Cheese.
• Chiles – One can of fire roasted or classic diced green chiles.
• Filling – Chive and onion cream cheese.
• Seasonings – Garlic salt and onion powder.
• Shredded Cheese – Shredded monterey jack cheese.
• Butter – Salted or unsaltedbutter.

How to Make the Best Green Chile Queso Potatoes

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Green Chile Queso Potatoes: Two pounds diced hash brown potatoes (i.e. Southern hash browns), whole milk or half and half, white American cheese, chive and onion cream cheese, shredded monterey jack cheese, garlic salt, onion powder, butter and one can chopped green chiles.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: 4-5 quart heavy bottomed pot, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board, cheese grater, large non stick spatula and 13 x 9 inch baking dish or 12 inch oven safe skillet.
• These queso potatoes are designed to be cheesy. You can add up to one pound (or one half of a 32 ounce bag) of diced hash browns with no other adjustments needed. When doing so, you’ll be able to yield more servings and you could even freeze half for another meal.
• Can I use raw potatoes instead of hash browns? The purpose of using frozen diced or refrigerated hash browns in this dish is to make prep a cinch. You can use raw potatoes in the same amount. When doing so, you’ll need to parboil them ever so slightly before mixing with the sauce.
• You can use fire roasted, mild, medium or hot green chiles for this recipe.
• Store baked Green Chile Queso Potatoes chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
