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:

  • Use Russet Potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this casserole because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
  • Boil Potatoes Until Fork-Tender: Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, but not overcooked, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a Creamy Soup Base: A creamy soup base, such as cream of celery or cream of mushroom, adds richness and flavor to the casserole.
  • Add Plenty of Cheese: Cheese is a key ingredient in this casserole. Use a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheeses for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Casserole: The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are heated through. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and tough.
  • Top with Crispy Bacon: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the casserole. It's a great way to finish off the dish.

Conclusion:

Loaded potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
