The Best Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Description
This casserole starts by cubing peeled russet potatoes and boiling them in chicken broth to infuse flavor and ensure tenderness. After draining most of the broth, the potatoes are combined with butter, sour cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onion, crumbled bacon, salt, and black pepper. This mixture is mashed until smooth and creamy.
The potato mixture is spread evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and topped with the remaining cheddar cheese. Baking at 375°F melts the cheese until bubbly with lightly golden edges, while the casserole heats through, marrying the flavors. The texture is rich and creamy with bits of bacon and bursts of green onion. This dish offers a comforting and filling accompaniment suitable for various meals.
Allowing the casserole to cool briefly before serving helps it set for easier portioning.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds russet potato washed and peeled
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese divided, shredded
- 1/2 cup green onion diced
- 1 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrub and clean potatoes. Roughly peel the potatoes leaving on some of the skin. Cube into 2 inch pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a pot with chicken broth on high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Strain the potatoes from the broth except about 1 cup of the liquid and put the cooked potatoes and broth into a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the butter, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, green onions, bacon, salt and pepper. Mash the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the potatoes are smooth.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the potato mixture into the baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
