There is something so special about a warm potato dish that brings everyone to the table. This recipe captures all the classic flavors of a twice baked potato but makes it much easier to serve for a big family dinner or a holiday gathering.

My favorite trick for this recipe is to make sure you shred your cheese fresh from a block. It melts so much smoother than the pre shredded bags, and it really makes a big difference in how creamy the final casserole turns out.

🧺 Ingredients

5 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup whole milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks, then boil them in salted water until they are fork tender.
3
Drain the potatoes well and place them back into the pot.
4
Add the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper to the pot and mash everything together until smooth.
5
Stir in the minced garlic, half of the shredded cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the green onions.
6
Spread the potato mixture into your prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheese and bacon.
7
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining green onions before serving.
