Equipment

  • 9 x 13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 6-8 russet potatoes (6 large or 8 medium)
  • 1 TBS cooking oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks butter softened (1 cup) cut into pieces
  • 6-8 pieces bacon
  • 1 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 green onions sliced thin or fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Place milk, sour cream and butter out to come to room temperature.
  • Scrub russet potatoes under water. Dry off potatoes with a towel. Place potatoes onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Rub each potato with a drizzle of cooking oil. Sprinkle with salt. Poke 8 holes all over potatoes.
    Bake in 425 degree oven for 45 minutes. Pull out of oven and allow to rest until cool enough to easily handle.
  • While potatoes are cooking prepare bacon. (you can either fry up bacon in a pan or bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until crisp. Place bacon on a paper towel lined plate to allow grease to drain. Crumble up bacon once crisp and cooled.
  • Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Using a spoon pull out the cooked potato from the skins and place into a large bowl. If you want to add some skin to the bowl just leave it on 2 of the potatoes for a more rustic look.
  • Mash up potatoes in large bowl until you reach desired texture. I like to leave mine chunky. Add 1/3 of the crumbled bacon, sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper and 1 cup of cheese. Mix all ingredients in the bowl until well combined. Taste for any extra seasoning if needed.
  • Pour potato mixture into casserole dish evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese and the rest of bacon across casserole. Place in 350 degree preheated oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is nicely melted and casserole is heated through.
  • Take out of oven, garnish with sliced green onions or fresh parsley. Enjoy.
