Three Cheese Potato Chicken Bake

I make this often as a side dish, but when it’s time for a meal I add diced chicken and in the oven it all goes until bubbling and golden brown. This Three Cheese Potato Chicken Bake is a hearty and filling dish that’s adaptable to make for 2 with leftovers or for a large crowd.
When I first saw this one I had to give it a try. The ingredients intrigue and the cheesy goodness was calling my name. Comfort food at it’s finest, loaded with three different cheeses and potatoes. One scoop as a side is great or bumped up to meal status with a chicken addition, this works on those cold evenings and is not big on prep or ingredients.
I know the crispy baked cheese covering the potatoes looks so good, but what’s even better are the tender, flavorful potatoes and with the sour cream and cottage cheese it’s quite tasty. I know, don’t scoff at the cottage cheese, it really works so well here. This makes a wonderful sauce and with each tangy bite, a little kiss of heat via the cayenne (optional) if you like it that way. I do and think this one hits the mark for comforting and filling.
The diced onion, potatoes and tart sour cream all blend together perfectly.
It may appear a little wet when you remove from the oven, but it absorbs while resting. I added the cayenne and chicken to the original and lengthened the baking time as well. While the original said to use a 2 1/2 quart baking dish I found this not suitable and too wet of a finished dish. I make it in a larger baking dish  so it’s not as tall. Omit the chicken if you like and the recipes works just fine.
This Three Cheese Potato Chicken Bake is some hot stuff right out of the oven, so I let it rest 5 minutes and dig in. Enjoy!
