If you're looking for an incredibly delicious side dish to impress your family and friends, this Twice Baked Potato Casserole is just what you need. With rich, creamy potatoes and the perfect blend of flavors and seasonings, it will be a hit at your next gathering.
You'll need 10 medium potatoes to start. Peel, cube and boil them until they are soft and fluffy. Then mash the potatoes in a bowl with salt, pepper, butter and milk until they form a creamy consistency. For more flavor you can add in garlic, diced green onions, shredded cheese and other herbs as desired. Finally, pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish and set aside while you prepare the topping.
Begin your dish by prepping the potatoes and onions. Peel and cube 10 medium potatoes, making sure they're all roughly the same size. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water to bring just to a boil. Meanwhile ready a large skillet on the stovetop with a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add one diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Once finished, add the onion mixture to the mashed potatoes and stir well to combine.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter and pour in the mashed potato and onion mixture. Using the back of a spoon, smooth out the surface so that it's even. Sprinkle on your choice of cheese, then top with chopped bacon and green onions for added flavor. Place in preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and bubbly.
When the timer goes off, take your Twice-Baked Potato Casserole out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. This casserole pairs great with roasted chicken or your favorite grilled meats. Enjoy as a side dish or serve as a main course to bring together your family around one plate of comfort food!
With a cup of steaming soup or green salad and your favorite proteins, the twice-baked potato casserole is sure to be a flavorful addition to your family meal! So pop in the oven and watch your potatoes turn into delicious goodnes.
