What are potatoes romanoff?
Potatoes Romanoff is a classic side dish that you’ll typically see paired with steak. The most traditional potatoes romanoff recipe will be made from shredded russet potatoes and be paired with sour cream, cheese, shallots, and seasonings.
The romanoff sauce – minus the hashbrowns – can be used to make any kind of romanoff dish, like these noodles romanoff. I enjoy a good casserole dish that has a quick prep time and allows me to save time with basic ingredients.
Recipe Ingredients
- Frozen Hashbrowns: Skip the need to grate potatoes by using a bag of frozen hashbrowns. They will need to be slightly defrosted before use.
- Cheese: Parmesan cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and cream cheese are used to ensure the most cheesy and creamy sauce. Hence, why these are also known as cheesy potatoes.
- Sour Cream: Just like its name, sour cream helps add an even creamier touch to the potato casserole.
- Butter: Melted and combined with other ingredients to provide a smooth finish and flavor.
- Minced Shallots: This flavor-building veggie is similar to the onion but without the heat. It will add more of a sweet flavor with a tiny bit of sharpness.
- Seasonings: Paprika (used for serving), kosher salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder is the perfect flavor combination for romanoff potatoes.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step One – Add sour cream, softened cream cheese, melted butter, 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and shallot into a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
Step Two – Stir the romanoff ingredients together until smooth.
Step Three – Pour in defrosted hashbrowns.
Step Four – Gently toss until the hashbrowns have been mixed well creamy sauce.
Step Five – Add the potato mixture into a prepared crock pot (sprayed with non-stick spray) and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours.
Step Six – Sprinkle with paprika and serve. Enjoy!
