Give me all the potatoes and cheese with this amazing potato casserole! I have made this recipe so many times to count, but 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.
This casserole 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:
First, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Second, wash and peel all of the russet potatoes. After that is done, cut all of them into small 1 inch sized pieces.
Then, 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.
When 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.
After your potatoes are done cooking, pour the potatoes into a colander to drain the water and return the potatoes to the large pan and cover them with a lid.
Meanwhile, 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.
After that, add in the green onions, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper. Finally, use 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.
Next, 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.
After it’s done cooking, remove it from the oven and garnish it with the leftover bacon crumbles and serve it!

This looks divine! I love all things potato. thanks for the recipe!
Thanks
I think that would work just fine!
I have never tried it, but I think that would work just fine!
I am so sorry it took so long to get back to you. I hope it turned out okay! I am sure that it would be fine to put in a crock pot. Let us know how it turned out!
As a note - we both agree that, like most other mashed potato and soup recipes, the flavors really came out in the leftovers. :)
Another note - I made your chicken cordon bleu casserole the day before this and it was also amazing!! Thanks for your awesome recipes!! -M.
