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!

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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a pre-packaged hash brown potato mix instead of grating your own potatoes.
  • If you don't have cream of celery soup, you can substitute cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup.
  • For a cheesy casserole, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture before baking.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe instructions. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven until it's warmed through.
  • Serve the casserole with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.

Conclusion:

Fresno potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes or hash browns, and it's always a hit with family and friends. Plus, it can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
