Step aside, plain ol’ potatoes! This cheesy potato casserole feeds a family (and then some!) with more flavor per square inch than your 13x9 has ever seen. A tortilla chip topping yields a crunchy-creamy texture you won’t be able to resist, and chopped green chiles, cool sour cream, zippy jalapeño peppers and loads of cheese take these Mexican-inspired potatoes to the next level.

Expert Tips

Gold or yellow tortilla chips are thicker and more golden in color than regular tortilla chips. Their sturdiness means they hold up well in a baked casserole.
Swap the shredded cheeses in this recipe for your favorite melty varieties, such as Monterey Jack, Colby-Jack or cheddar.
Serve this cheesy potato casserole with your favorite chicken dish for a hearty meal.
