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.

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.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Potato Casserole Ever

- **Boil the perfect potato:** Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, and boil them with the skin on until they're fork-tender. Once they're cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly before peeling and cubing them. - **Make a creamy sauce:** In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. - **Assemble the casserole:** In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, sauce, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. - **Bake until golden brown:** Bake the casserole in a preheated 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are heated through. - **Let it rest before serving:** Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice. ###
