Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced red bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound bulk regular pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
1 cup baby spinach leaves
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
10 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on a large baking sheet in a single, even layer; toss to coat well.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper; cook and stir until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 1 more minute. Transfer mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and break apart with a spatula until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain sausage and add to the bowl with the veggie mixture. Add spinach, mozzarella cheese, and rosemary to the mixture.
  • Gently whisk eggs, milk, and remaining kosher salt and black pepper together in a bowl until well combined. Pour over the sausage and veggie mixture and gently toss to combine.
  • Place roasted potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the veggie and sausage mixture evenly over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until eggs are set in the center, about 50 minutes. If the egg mixture starts to brown, put a loose sheet of aluminum foil over the baking dish to cover it.

HOLIDAY POTATO CASSEROLE



HOLIDAY POTATO CASSEROLE image

I saw a version of this recipe on a bag of frozen shredded potatoes, but didn't have all of the ingredients, so I substituted and created my own version. I have several versions of this recipe already posted, but this one is a wee bit different. At any rate it is very cheesy, tasty, delicious, quick & easy to make. I am sure you...

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bag(s) frozen shredded potatoes-10 cups- (1 lb14 oz) thawed
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 jar(s) diced roasted red peppers,8 oz. drained
3/4 c cottage cheese, (small curd)
8 oz cream cheese, softened & cubed
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 stick butter- melted, (6 tbs+ 2 tbs) divided
1 tsp each granulated garlic & coarse black pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese,(2 cups)
CRUNCHY TOPPING
1 1/2 c corn flakes, crushed
2 Tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Spray a 9 X 12 size casserole dish with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. These are most of the main ingredients.
  • 2. Add half of the shredded potatoes to the casserole dish and set aside while you prepare the soup and cream cheese mixture.
  • 3. Using a medium size bowl, add in the soup, cottage cheese, milk, spices, diced cubes of cream cheese, chopped green onions, & diced roasted red peppers.
  • 4. Stir until mixture is combined together, then pour half of the soup mixture over the thawed potatoes in casserole dish.
  • 5. Now add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. I used sharp cheddar shreds for added burst of flavor. Now repeat with remaining potatoes, soup mixture & cheese.
  • 6. Now add the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the crushed corn flakes, and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • 7. Place casserole in preheated 350 degree F. oven and bake for 55 -60 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly along edges, or internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Allow to rest at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this casserole because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and not very appetizing.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so don't skimp on quality. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
  • Make sure the casserole is bubbly: The casserole is done baking when it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. If the casserole is not bubbly, it needs to be baked for a few minutes longer.

Conclusion:

Holiday Potato Casserole is a classic side dish that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. This casserole is always a hit with guests and is sure to become a new family favorite.
