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.

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.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

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.

REALLY GOOD POTATO CASSEROLE



Really Good Potato Casserole image

I found this in the New York Daily News, and you know what? It really is a really good potato casserole! Really! Be sure to slice the potatoes thinly (1/8-inch thick) so that they cook properly.

Provided by Mirj2338

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into slices about 1/8 inch thick (about 6 medium)
2 cloves garlic, minced (in my house that means smashed with a large chef's knife)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves (optional)
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup broth (I use a veggie broth)

Steps:

  • Put your rack in the center position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread 1/3 of the potatoes in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Sprinkle with 1/3 of the garlic, salt, optional thyme, cheese and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Repeat with the remaining potatoes, garlic, salt, thyme, cheddar and pepper two more times.
  • That's three layers for the numerically challenged.
  • Combine the cream and broth in a large measuring cup and pour into the dish along the edges rather than into the center.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the potatoes are tender (you can pierce them with a skewer or paring knife), the liquid is reduced and thickened, and the cheese on top is well browned.
  • Let cool about 10 minutes before serving.

NANCY'S POTATO CASSEROLE



Nancy's Potato Casserole image

I found this while thumbing through a magazine and it sounded good to go alone with the pork chops I had planned on that evening. I was right, it was good! And very simple to put together.

Provided by cxstitcher57

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium potatoes, sliced
1 cup cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup green pepper, diced (optional)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish.
  • Combine the remaining ingreadients and pour over the potatoes.
  • Bake covered for 35 minutes. Makes about 6 servings.
  • Make sure you slice the potatoes thinly, or you may have a harder time getting the pototes cooked in the 35 minute time frame.
  • I had to cook mine longer the first time, as I had sliced them a bit wide.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for a creamy, fluffy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape and won't mash well.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. Look for fresh, firm potatoes, flavorful cheeses, and aromatic herbs.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and watery, ruining the texture of your casserole. Cook them until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Mash the potatoes thoroughly: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Lumps of potatoes will make your casserole grainy and unappetizing.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses offer different flavors and textures. Try combining a sharp cheddar with a creamy mozzarella or a nutty Parmesan. You can also add crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese for a unique flavor twist.
  • Add flavorful mix-ins: Mix in cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, chopped vegetables, or herbs to add extra flavor and texture to your casserole. Be creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Top with a crispy topping: A crispy topping adds a delicious crunch to your casserole. Try using bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated Parmesan cheese. You can also drizzle melted butter or olive oil over the top before baking for an extra golden crust.

Conclusion:

Potato casserole is a versatile and comforting dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy, cheesy interior and crispy topping, it's a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're following a simple recipe or experimenting with different flavors and ingredients, potato casserole is sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get cooking!
