- Allow the potatoes to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a 200°F oven for about 20 minutes, until fully thawed.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray a 9 × 13–inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 6 tablespoons melted butter, salt, pepper, and dried minced onion. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add the thawed potatoes and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring gently until evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Place the potato chips in a large zip-top bag and gently crush them with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the potato mixture.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 40–50 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
