This is a creamy, cheesy Baked Potato Casserole recipe that captures the comfort of twice-baked potatoes with minimal effort. We planned this project carefully, and Jacob added his artistic touch to make it a perfect addition to your portfolio.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, baked and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the cooled baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh out of each potato half into a large bowl, leaving about a 1/4 inch shell.
  3. Place the empty potato shells on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
  4. To the potato flesh, add the sour cream, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and creamy. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and all of the crumbled bacon into the potato mixture.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly back into the reserved potato shells.
  7. Place the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese with the Monterey Jack cheese. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over the filled potatoes.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are starting to turn golden brown.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot.

Notes

  • Bake the potatoes ahead of time to save time on the day you plan to assemble the casserole.
  • You can assemble the entire casserole, cover it, and refrigerate it up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, mix a dash of garlic powder into the potato filling.
