Cheesy Potatoes

1 bag frozen diced potatoes, thawed

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup

8 oz. sour cream

8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (keep 2 Tbs aside)

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. ground black pepper

3 Tbs. butter, melted

3 Tbs. crushed potato chips

 

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the condensed soup, sour cream, salt, pepper and all but 2 Tbs.  of the shredded cheese. Add the diced potatoes and fold gently until well covered in soup mixture.

Spoon the potato mixture into a lightly greased 12” cast iron Dutch oven with feet.   Top with remaining shredded cheese.  In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and crushed potato chips.  Sprinkle chip mixture over potatoes.

Arrange 8 hot coals in a circle and place Dutch oven on the coals. Top with flat lid and place 8-10 hot coals around perimeter of lid. Let bake for 60 minutes, adding more hot coals after 30 minutes.

Serve hot and stand back.  These are addicting.
