Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the baking dish
6 large russet potatoes
Pinch salt
8 ounces sliced bacon
1 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Pinch garlic salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes and salt in a pressure cooker with water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until very tender, about 5 minutes. (If you do not have a pressure cooker, boil the potatoes in a pot of water with a pinch of salt until tender, about 20 minutes.)
  • While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Add the milk, mayonnaise, sour cream, butter, garlic salt, pepper and 1 cup of the cheese to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Whip the mixture until thoroughly combined. Drain the potatoes and add to the mixer. Mix again to combine and the potatoes are whipped smooth.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and remaining 1 cup cheese over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Butter, at room temperature
1 shallot, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 medium russet potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with just a bit of the shallot.
  • Add the heavy cream to a medium saucepan along with the remaining shallot, garlic, salt and pepper. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. Let simmer until you see the liquid begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, cover with some Cheddar and a sprinkling of Parmesan; repeat the layering 2 more times.
  • Pour the hot liquid over the potatoes. Add the remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil to bake until the cheese is golden and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing so it can settle.

GWEN'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO-BEEF CASSEROLE



Gwen's Old-Fashioned Potato-Beef Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds red potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
Salt
Vegetable oil, to coat pan
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Black pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup unseasoned dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes cook quickly. Test often for tenderness and don't overcook them. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes, releasing the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking. Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a 6- by 9- by 2-inch casserole dish.
  • In a large skillet, add a little oil to coat the pan. Combine the beef and onion and cook together over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cheese and browned beef and onions.
  • Pour the ground beef mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the casserole and bake until the crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes longer.

  • Scrub the potatoes, then place them on baking sheets. Rub the potatoes with the canola oil and bake until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the potatoes and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the butter into pats and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the bacon and sour cream. With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl. Tear up 3 of the skins and throw them in. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher.

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!

Provided by RockChalkChick

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.

NINDSY'S BEST POTATO CASSEROLE



Nindsy's Best Potato Casserole image

I got this recipe over at the TOH website. It's very popular there because it is a company dish that is so good and so easy. No one can believe it is so simple. The potatoes pair well with any meat...ham, meatloaf, grilled meats, etc. Or add them to your brunch buffet. You will want to make more than you think you should as this goes FAST, says Nindsy who calls this her very best recipe. You can make this with half-and-half but the taste is not the same.

Provided by Lorraine of AZ

Categories     Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (32 ounce) bag shredded hash browns (Mr. Dell's suggested)
1 pint whipping cream (2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour potatoes in prepared baking dish Pour cream over. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
  • Bake uncovered in preheated oven until potatoes are glazey and slightly brown on top, about an hour (experiment the first time!).
  • NOTE: Nindsy adds this note to her recipe: "You owe it to yourself to make this with cream the first time. You will be tempted to add onion and maybe cheddar cheese on top, but again, I urge you to try it once with only the cream. To die for!".

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture, making them perfect for a potato casserole.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook them until they are just tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in this dish, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or a Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or corn can add extra flavor and nutrition to your potato casserole. Just be sure to cook them before adding them to the casserole, so that they don't release too much water.
  • Season the casserole well: Use salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make a potato casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
