Why do we wait until the holidays to make potato casseroles? Baked potato casseroles like au gratin potatoes, loaded potato casserole, Amish mashed potato casserole and hash brown casserole are good any time of the year (or week!).

This easy cheesy garlic and herb potato casserole recipe is one for the books. The casserole is made with frozen hash brown potatoes, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic and herbs. The topping is simply melted butter, herbs and cornflakes.

Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. Parsley, fresh chives, sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme are good options and add so much flavor and freshness. If you're really a garlic lover, add more garlic to the high-protein recipe. (Check out the health benefits of protein.)

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a large bowl, stir together the potatoes, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, mozzarella, Parmesan, onion, garlic and half the herbs. Season well with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish. (You could change up the cheese in this potato casserole. Gruyere, Swiss, provolone, white cheddar, fontina or whatever you enjoy would work.)
