Dickeys Baked Potato Casserole
Description
Dickeys Baked Potato Casserole begins with baking whole russet potatoes until tender, then cooling them to scoop out their soft flesh for mashing. The potatoes are combined with butter, sour cream, and milk to create a creamy texture. Salt and ground black pepper add basic seasoning, while a portion of bacon bits is mixed in, imparting a smoky, salty flavor.
The mashed potato mixture is spread in a casserole dish and topped with remaining bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onion tops. Baking at a lower temperature melts the cheese and brings the ingredients together without drying the mixture. The final casserole balances creamy, cheesy, and savory elements with fresh onion brightness.
This dish serves well as a side for dinner or holiday meals, adding a creamy, flavorful twist to traditional baked potatoes. It accommodates bacon lovers with real bacon bits sprinkled inside and on top. The green onions add a fresh note that cuts through the richness.
Notably, the recipe advises against poking holes in potatoes before baking to keep the interior light and fluffy. Only potatoes that are overcooked tend to burst in the oven, so careful baking is recommended to prevent this issue.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potato
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk

- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ⅓ cup bacon bits real

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

- Add butter, sour cream, and milk. Mix to combine.
- Add salt, pepper, and about 1 tablespoon of the bacon bits. Mix or stir to combine.
- Spoon the potato mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining bacon bits, shredded cheese, and green onion tops over the potato mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
Notes
- Do not poke holes in the potatoes before baking to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Use real bacon bits for authentic smoky flavor throughout the casserole.
- Let the baked potatoes cool enough to handle before scooping out the flesh to avoid breaking the skins prematurely.
