Prepare the Potatoes:
  • Hash the Potatoes: Peel and shred the potatoes.
  • Blanch the Potatoes: Place the shredded potatoes in boiling water and blanch for 5-10 minutes until slightly tender. Then, drain and pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
Chop the Onions:
  • Small Dice: While the potatoes are blanching, chop the onions into small pieces. This ensures they cook evenly and blend well into the casserole.
Shred the Cheese:
  • Grate the Cheese: Shred the cheese and set aside 3/4 cup for topping the casserole.
Mix the Ingredients:
  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched potatoes, remaining shredded cheese, beer cheese soup, sour cream, chopped onions, and melted butter.
  • Season the Mixture: Add the garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder. Adjust the spices to your liking before adding the egg.
  • Add the Egg: Beat the egg and mix it thoroughly into the potato mixture to help bind everything together.
Assemble the Casserole:
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spread in a Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish and spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
  • Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the reserved 3/4 cup of cheese on top for a delicious, golden finish.
Bake the Casserole:
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy:
  • Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
  • Dish Up: Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with a touch of spicy flair!
