Hello, it’s Doree here from Top Notch Mom. I am so happy to be back here at Juggling Act Mama. It’s amazing how fast a month goes by! Before you know it the holidays will here and you’ll be on the hunt for the perfect side dish to go with your main dish. Today I am going to be sharing this family favorite Easy Baked Potato Casserole that is absolutely perfect for the holidays.
This recipe has been in my family for years and I am so excited to share it with you. It’s also a great recipe because it’s easily changeable to your liking. I loaded this Easy Baked Potato Casserole up, but it’s just as good without the bacon and other toppings.
Ingredients
- 10 yukon gold potatoes - peeled and halved
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 C evaporated milk
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 1 TSP salt
- 1/2 TSP black pepper
- 1/2 C sliced green onions
Instructions
- Peel and halve potatoes
- Place potatoes in a large pot, covered with salted water and bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15-20 minutes
- While potatoes are on the stove, cook bacon over medium heat on the skillet turning occasionally until browned (about 10 minutes) Drain bacon and crumble
- Once the potatoes are done, drain and return to pot
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Add 1 C shredded cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, sour cream, salt and pepper into the pot with the potatoes
- Mash until creamed and spread potato mixture into baking dish
- Bake for 20 minutes
- Remove from the oven and top with bacon, green onions and 1/2 C cheese
- Return to oven and bake an additional 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted
Notes
You can make additional bacon and add it into the potato mixture
