Tips:

  • Choose russet potatoes for a fluffy casserole.
  • Soak the potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
  • Grate the potatoes using a large-hole grater for even cooking.
  • Press the grated potatoes firmly to remove excess water.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the potatoes and bacon so that they can brown evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the potatoes and bacon, or they will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the potatoes and bacon with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a flavorful casserole. A good option is to use a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving so that it can set.
