Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 8 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and return to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until creamy and smooth.
Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions over the layer of mashed potatoes.
Add the remaining mashed potatoes on top, spreading evenly to create a second layer.
Finish by topping the casserole with the remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your rich and delicious Loaded Potato Casserole!
