8 servings
These EASY gluten-free cheesy potatoes are comfort food at its finest! These creamy potatoes are made gluten-free with a crunchy, salty kettle chip topping. They're delicious with any holiday meal!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 26-30 oz frozen shredded hash browns
- ½ cup sour cream
FOR THE TOPPING
- 2 cups crushed potato chips I like to use kettle cooked chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
- Combine the chicken broth and milk in a liquid measure and slowly whisk in the mixture.
- Stir in the salt, pepper and thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream and mix until combined.
- Fold in the frozen hash browns until well combined.
- Evenly spread the potatoes into the prepared 9X13-inch baking dish and top with the crushed potato chips.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
RECIPE NOTES
- Any kind of gluten-free flour will work for this classic side dish recipe! No need to use 1:1 baking flour, which I typically recommend for most gluten-free baked goods.
- It can be difficult to find gluten-free cornflakes, so I like to add gluten-free potato chips. They add a salty crunch that I happen to love! However, if you can find gluten-free cornflakes, feel free to use them!
- To make ahead, follow the recipe up until the point of baking. Cover cheesy potatoes with foil and store in the fridge until ready to bake.
