Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cream of onion soup, green chiles, salt, and American cheese. Add half of the Cheddar cheese, hot sauce (if using), and stir well until everything is evenly combined. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese and crushed potato chips evenly over the top. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are bubbly and golden brown around the edges, approximately 55 to 60 minutes. (60 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the potatoes to set slightly. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the potato chip topping before baking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference. A dash of cayenne pepper can also be used.
If you don't have cream of onion soup on hand, cream of mushroom soup can be substituted.
