Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (cooked and drained)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup additional shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • 1/4 cup additional crumbled bacon for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry.
  3. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
  4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, milk, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skin.
  8. Add the scooped-out potato flesh to the mixing bowl and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the potato mixture evenly across the bottom.
  11. Layer the remaining potato mixture on top and spread evenly.
  12. Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
  13. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  14. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  15. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  16. Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

  • Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped green onions.
  • Pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
