Potatoes Romanoff
Description
This comforting Potatoes Romanoff is a classic American casserole that transforms simple boiled potatoes into a rich, creamy side dish. The tender potato mixture is blended with fat-free sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, and savory onion slices, then baked until the top is golden and bubbly. A dusting of paprika adds a smoky aroma and beautiful color. It pairs perfectly with roasted meats or holiday dinners. Despite using lighter ingredients like fat-free sour cream, the flavor remains robust and satisfying. This dish is easy to prepare, family-friendly, and always a crowd-pleaser at potlucks or weeknight suppers.Ingredients

Mash and stir the mixture until well combined and creamy.

Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
