What a wonderful casserole this southwestern potato casserole is! Fortunately, the recipe makes a really big batch (of course you could divide it or cut it in half), because we weren’t shy about eating it. I really liked the crunch that the tortilla chips added. There’s a little hint of heat, but not much, so don’t worry about taking this to a potluck or family get-together.
Yummy. And Easy.
The ingredients for this southwestern potato casserole aren’t fancy. And the steps to making it aren’t complicated. But in the end you’ll have a tasty, stick-to-your ribs dish that is packed with a lot of flavor.
