Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 2 medium Onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash with 4 tablespoons of butter and milk. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Finely chop the onions. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the onions until golden, about 5 minutes.
Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the dish. Spread a thin layer of the mashed potato mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of sautéed onions.
Repeat the layering process (noodles, potatoes, onions) until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of noodles.
Spread the sour cream evenly over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
