I love baked potatoes. I love casseroles. Put them together and you get all the comforting flavors of potatoes, butter, sour cream, bacon, chives, and cheddar cheese.  This is a winner my friends and I promised you will make it often.

 Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

3 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup sour cream

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cheddar cheese, (shredded)

½ cup Gruyere (you can use Monterey Jack or Swiss too)

3 slices crisp bacon, cooked and crumbled

 1/4 cup green onions, (diced)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reserve two tablespoons of the onion, bacon and cheese for later.  Set aside. Wash your potatoes and prick them with a fork. You can either roast your potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees for about an hour or you can put them in the microwave until soft.  

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare a small casserole dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray. I used a 7.5" x 6 baking dish which will feed 4 people easily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When potatoes are finished baking or cooking, take them out to cool enough that you can handle them.  Once cooled, peel and dice them into ½ inch pieces and place in a medium sized bowl. Gently fold in the melted butter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the sour cream, onions and bacon being careful not to break up the potatoes too much.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Pour mixture into your prepared casserole dish. Cover tightly with Aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from the oven and top with the remaining cheeses, green onion and bacon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve hot and enjoy!

 So good!
