How to Make Canned Potato Magic

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain one (29 ounce) can of potatoes and gently spread them in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or similar sized oven-safe dish.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of butter flakes evenly over the potatoes.
  4. Season generously with 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Adjust to your taste preference.
  5. Arrange 4-6 slices of Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces) over the potatoes, halving slices as needed to cover evenly.
  6. Cover the baking dish with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the potatoes are heated through. If using foil, remove during the last 5 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
