  3. Step 3: Fold in 6 ounces of freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese into the potato mixture, reserving the remaining 2 ounces for topping.
  4. Step 4: Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top of the potato mixture. Then, evenly distribute the crushed potato chips on top for that irresistible crunch.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Step 7: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the cheesy goodness with your favorite main dish!
