A warm, comforting casserole that tastes like a classic steakhouse side dish, combining creamy sour cream, sharp cheddar, and tender potato chunks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup sour cream

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
