Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Twice Baked Potato Casserole is a comforting side dish loved by many. It’s filled with creamy potatoes, cheese, and crispy bacon.
I don’t know what could be a better side dish than one that’s loaded with creamy potatoes, lots of cheese and crispy bacon. YUM! That’s what this comforting Twice Baked Potato Casserole is all about and more.
For Easter Sunday I baked us a ham and made some of these delicious potatoes. I think they were the biggest hit at our dinner table. 🙂
I tried to prepare most of our holiday dinner in advance, so I made these the night before up until the baking point. Instead of baking them I covered them in saran wrap and placed them in the fridge.
It was so nice to just pop them in the oven when we were ready to eat dinner. It saved me a lot of time so I could enjoy the holiday more with my family.
These potatoes are so yummy and creamy. I love the green onions you sprinkle on top. They give this casserole even more fantastic flavor.
This recipe is one that can easily be cut in half if you don’t need a lot. It’s just one more great thing about this recipe! I hope you give it a try very soon.

Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 8 medium russet potatoes
- 3/4 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk (I use 2%)
- 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the butter, sour cream and milk on the counter so they're not so cold when adding them to the potatoes.
- Clean and scrub potatoes. Then poke a few holes over them with a fork. Place potatoes on the center rack in oven and bake for 45 minutes or until fork tender. Carefully remove potatoes from oven. (*Please handle potatoes carefully they will be hot!). Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet, over low heat, until crispy. Carefully remove hot bacon and place on a paper-towel lined plate to soak up grease and to cool. Chop the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- Remove the skins from the cooked potatoes then place potatoes in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. Add the butter, sour cream and milk to potatoes. Mash again to combine everything. Stir in half the crumbled bacon. Spread potato mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Top potatoes with the shredded cheese and remaining bacon. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until hot and cheese is bubbly. Carefully remove from oven. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving. Top with sliced green onions and serve. Enjoy!
