Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to medium. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped green onions.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the remaining crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining chopped green onions, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful loaded baked potato casserole!
