🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1. Preheat and Prepare

2. Mix the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, combine:
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream
- Melted butter
- Milk
Stir until smooth and well blended. This is the rich, creamy base that will coat the potatoes.
3. Add Flavor and Texture
Mix in:
- Chopped onion
- Salt and pepper
- Shredded cheddar cheese (save a small handful for topping if you like extra cheese on top)
Stir everything together until evenly combined.
