Method
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream, milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread half of the mashed potatoes into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon over the layer. Add the remaining mashed potatoes on top and smooth out.
- Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions over the top.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
Add Extra Flavor: Stir in some ranch seasoning or cream cheese for a richer taste.
