Twice Baked Potato Casserole
A delicious potato side dish for any occasion.
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.
