Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe

Give me all the potatoes and cheese with this amazing potato casserole! I have made this recipe so many times to count and I have never had anyone not like this casserole. It’s truly the best baked potatoes recipe I’ve made. 

 These potatoes are super creamy and buttery, everything you would want from your potatoes and more. The sour cream adds the right texture and a little added flavor to these potatoes. 

If you are wondering what to cook with baked potatoes, we have so many recipes that would go great, but I’ll suggest a few to get you started. These baked potatoes would go fabulously with our Instant Pot honey glazed ham recipe, cheddar baked chicken recipe, or the delicious sheet pan meatloaf and green beans recipe.

Time to make these cheesy bacon potatoes in the oven:

To begin start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. 

Then, wash and peel all of the russet potatoes. After that is done, cut all of them into small 1 inch sized pieces. 

Now, place the cut-up potatoes into a large pot and add in enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 2 inches. Turn the burner on to medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. 

Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer. You will cook the potatoes until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a pairing knife. This should take about 20 minutes. 

When they are done, pour the potatoes into a colander to drain the water and return the potatoes to the large pan and cover them with a lid. 

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the bacon strips and cook them until they are crisp and brown. Try and turn them only once in the process.

Once the bacon is done, remove them from the pan and place the bacon on paper towels to let them drain and cool down. 

After the bacon has cooled down crumble it into small pieces. 

Now, with the drained potatoes in the large pan, add in the cream cheese, butter, and sour cream and beat everything together with a hand mixer until they are well combined and smooth. 

Then, add in the green onions, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir everything together until they are completely combined. 

Next, transfer the mashed potatoes to the greased 9×13 inch baking pan and top it with the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese. 

Place the paned mashed potatoes into the oven and bake it until the top is slightly golden brown and the potatoes have been heated all the way through. This should take about 30 minutes. 

Once it is done, remove it from the oven and garnish it with the leftover bacon crumbles and serve it!
