Ingredients
- 4 cups diced potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups whole-kernel corn, drained (canned or thawed frozen corn)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Place the diced potatoes and corn into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the condensed soup and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Description
This casserole delivers creamy, comforting flavors with minimal effort. The potatoes become tender and absorb the rich sauce, while the sweet corn adds bursts of sweetness throughout the dish. Its rustic texture and simple ingredients make it a classic Amish-inspired favorite.
Tips
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking.
- If using russet potatoes, peel them first for a smoother texture.
- Covering the dish during the first part of baking helps the potatoes cook through without drying out.
- Stir halfway through baking if you prefer a creamier consistency.
- Allow the casserole to rest before serving so the sauce can thicken slightly.
Variations
- Cheesy Version: Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Herb Style: Mix in 1 teaspoon dried parsley or thyme.
- Onion Flavor: Add ½ cup finely diced onion for extra savory depth.
- Bacon Twist: Stir in cooked, crumbled bacon before baking.
- Vegetable Blend: Add peas, carrots, or green beans for more color and nutrition.
Correction
For the best texture, avoid cutting the potatoes too large, as they may require additional baking time. If the casserole appears dry during baking, stir in ¼ cup milk or broth. If it seems too liquid after baking, allow it to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy
Serve this Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Amish Corn Potato Casserole alongside roasted chicken, meatloaf, ham, or grilled sausage. Its creamy, comforting flavor and easy preparation make it a dependable family favorite that everyone will enjoy. Bon appétit!
