TWICE BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Mash warm baked potatoes or boiled potatoes with a potato masher. Add butter, cream cheese and sour cream. Mash while adding milk/cream a little at a time until to reach a creamy consistency.
• Stir in remaining ingredients (except toppings) and spread into a 2 quart casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with toppings and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

LOADED BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE

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.

POTATO CASSEROLE

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.

THE BEST BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE EVER!

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).
