Mashed Potato Casserole
Description
Begin by peeling and cubing potatoes, boiling them until tender, then mashing with sour cream, butter, cubed cream cheese, and milk for a creamy consistency. Garlic salt and black pepper season the mixture, while half of the cooked chopped bacon and cheddar plus Parmesan cheeses are folded in for flavor and texture contrast. The mixture is spooned into a greased casserole dish and topped with the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon before baking at 350°F until golden and bubbly.
The cooking process yields a creamy, cheesy casserole with crispy bacon bits spread throughout and a slightly browned cheese crust on top. The garlic salt provides a subtle herbal garlic flavor that complements the rich dairy ingredients.
This dish works well as a comforting side for a range of main courses, especially roasted meats. Garnishing with fresh green onions adds a mild sharpness and a pop of color.
It can be made up to 48 hours ahead, tightly covered and refrigerated. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 to 5 days and can be reheated fully before serving.
