THE BEST BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE EVER!



The Best Baked Potato Casserole Ever! image

This recipe comes from the Kirby House Restaurant in Abilene, Kansas. It is a low maintenance but flavorful potluck dish! In addition to the below ingredients, I add Penzey's Brady Street & Sandwich Sprinkle to each layer. But if you do add Sandwich Sprinkle, remember, there is salt already in it. This is a great 'make-ahead' dish that you can refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to bake. Prep time is approximate. Enjoy!

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium unpeeled potatoes, baked
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper (I use Penzey's mignonette)
6 -8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (I use thick cut bacon)
1 cup sour cream, if desired (or more)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, if desired (or more)
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with nonstick pan coating or grease lightly with solid shortening.
  • Cut baked potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Place half in a prepared baking dish; sprinkle half of the salt, pepper and bacon. Top with half of the sour cream & cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted (It usually takes 30 minutes for me. Also, you can cover with foil if the cheese starts to brown too quickly).
  • Sprinkle with chopped green onions to garnish.

LOADED BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE



Loaded Baked Potato Casserole image

This casserole combines all the irresistible features of a loaded spud, but is cooked and served family style for an extra-hearty side.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
6 slices bacon, cut 1/2-inch thick
2 1/4 pounds russet potatoes (about 4), scrubbed clean and cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups shredded Cheddar
2/3 cup sour cream
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
  • Put the potatoes into the prepared casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the potatoes are soft and begin to brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup Cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Dollop over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the remaining cup Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are completely cooked through when poked with a knife, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and bacon pieces.

Tips:

  • For a crispy top, brush the casserole with melted butter before baking.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe instructions. Let it cool completely, then cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet. Just make sure the skillet is oven-safe.
  • To make the casserole vegetarian, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To add some extra flavor to the casserole, try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
