    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    2

    While the oven is heating, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.

    3

    In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    4

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, sautéed onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

    5

    Transfer the potato mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

    6

    Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    7

    After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

    Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add cooked bacon bits for a deliciously smoky flavor.

  • Top with crispy fried onions for added crunch.
Important Tips
  • Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to help remove excess starch and improve texture.
