"Party potatoes"? Those are actually a thing? You midwesterners are a unique lot...
The preferred nomenclature is cheesy potatoes.
She's not easy on the eyes at all. And now we know she can't cook sooo she's 0-2 there.
That's when you make a quick stop at Hy Vee before work, and get some of theirs. She's not fat though, so I don't think she would have downed a whole thing. But who knows.Maybe she cooked the real party potatoes but then ate the entire pan before work, panicked, and had to whip up something quick to not show up empty handed.
The question then is, is it more shameful to bring shitty party potatoes to a potluck or admit to eating an entire pan of party potatoes for breakfast.

Sprinkle some cocaine on them for real party potatoes.
This is why I never talk up any recipe before bringing it to a potluck. Even if I think it is awesome, I give it no praise beforehand.
I love cooking, but I hate cooking and bringing it to the office. So I usually just show up with a Casey's breakfast pizza and then everyone is happy. But I agree, the chips and dip guy's stuff (we have one too) usually never get touched, and then he just takes it home.The one I can't stand is the chips and dip guy. The one who brings a bag of chips and a jar of salsa. Who wants that crap.
I've never heard the term party potatoes. I call them cheesy potatoes or something like that.

I was confused by this thread because I hadn't ever heard the term party potatoes either (I call them cheesy potatoes).

I too have only ever heard it as cheesy potatoes and not party potatoes.

Dammit Natural, this is a family website!Real party potatoes
Work had a chili cook off last fall. There were nine entries all together. I talked a big game before hand and was pretty confident in my abilities. I've never been in a chili cook off before.This is why I never talk up any recipe before bringing it to a potluck. Even if I think it is awesome, I give it no praise beforehand.

Our office hasn't had a chili cookoff in a few years. Which kinda sucks, because the last one was pretty solid. Except a huge douche won it the last time. I didn't try his chili because whenever I run into him in our bathroom, he never washes his hands. I'll pass no matter how good his chili tastes.Work had a chili cook off last fall.

Long story short...I am the 2016 Chili Cook Off champ!!!!1!!!

No, just no. Casserole, or Hotdish if you live in Minnesota or the Dakotas, is reserved for dishes that contain some sort of meat ingredient. The exception to this rule, because there is always an exception, is Green Bean Casserole.Same thing as hash brown casserole? That's the preferred term in our house.
Real party potatoes
I understand that's how many families start. I mean you were talking about cheese and sour cream on yours.Dammit Natural, this is a family website!
Someone gets it. You can't party without meat.No, just no. Casserole, or Hotdish if you live in Minnesota or the Dakotas, is reserved for dishes that contain some sort of meat ingredient. The exception to this rule, because there is always an exception, is Green Bean Casserole.
Tator Tot Hotdish is a completely different dish than Cheesy Hashbrowns. Tator Tot Hotdish, very similar ingredients but has ground beef in it.

Funny, first time I heard the term "party potatoes." However, my MIL used to make potato salad with mashed potatoes. Really, good, too. I think she started that to use up leftover mashed and it went over well, so then sometimes made it from scratch. Or else, it was something of a rural Iowa dish, or maybe not just Iowa.Alright, so I'm a big fan of party potatoes. Love em. For about the last week, we've been planning to have a potluck sort of thing at work today. One girl (no pic) was bragging about her party potatoes all week. How delicious they are, and how everyone that has ever had them, love them. So I'm thinking I'm going to get some fantastic party potatoes today.
Wellllll, said girl brings them in, so I go and get a couple scoops. She basically made instant mashed potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese on top. That was it. I'm talking about the kind of potatoes you make by mixing friggin water with it. Now when I think of party potatoes, I think of hashbrowns (Or dice potatoes) mixed with some sort of cheddar, sour cream, sauce type stuff. I know a lot of people will use cream of chicken or cream of mushroom with it. That's fantastic.
So the question to the board is, can what she made be considered party potatoes? Or anything with mashed potatoes be considered party potatoes? I feel like she's just trying to jazz up a BS instant potato dish that you'd make for a child. Anyways, I feel cheated/rant.
The one I can't stand is the chips and dip guy. The one who brings a bag of chips and a jar of salsa. Who wants that crap.
