Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy, then set aside to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
While the bacon cooks, wash, peel, and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
In a large casserole dish (9x13-inch), layer the cooked potatoes evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes, followed by the crumbled bacon and halved cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the ingredients in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped romaine lettuce and thinly sliced green onions just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your BLT casserole!
