Why This Recipe Works

The magic here lies in the condensed soup. As the raw potatoes slowly bake, they release their natural starches which blend beautifully with the rich, savory cream of chicken soup. The result is a thick, velvety sauce that coats every tender slice of potato. It is old-fashioned comfort food at its absolute finest with almost zero effort required.

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • Salt and black pepper to taste (optional seasoning)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing the dish

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a glass casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Peel your russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds approximately one-eighth of an inch thick. A mandoline slicer works wonderfully here for uniform slices, but a sharp knife does the job just as well.
  3. Layer the raw potato slices evenly inside the prepared glass casserole dish, slightly overlapping each slice as you go to create a beautiful layered pattern.
  4. Season the layered potatoes generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper if desired, making sure the seasoning is distributed evenly across the surface.
  5. Open the can of condensed cream of chicken soup and pour it directly over the raw potato slices without diluting it with water or milk. Use a spatula or spoon to gently spread the soup so it begins to seep down between the potato layers.
  6. Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake covered for approximately 60 minutes.
  7. After 60 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the potatoes are completely fork-tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the creamy sauce thicken slightly and makes serving much easier.
