This is one of my favorite recipes from my mother-in-law. They are very good when served with the Tenderloin Birds, also her recipe. If you like smashed potatoes, you'll like these. From the kitchen of Helen Julis Court, Ottumwa IA.

Tips for Making the Best Pimento Potato Casserole:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this casserole because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like red potatoes, which will not hold their shape as well.
  • Cook the Potatoes Properly: Make sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the casserole soggy.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh bell peppers and onions will give the casserole the best flavor. If you only have frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before adding them to the casserole.
  • Choose a Good Quality Cheese: Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Casserole: Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Overmixing will make the casserole tough.
  • Bake the Casserole Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pimento potato casserole is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a pimento potato casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
