Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or oil and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the frozen corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them back into the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

Step 6

Add sour cream, softened cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until creamy and smooth.

Step 7

Fold in the sautéed bell peppers, corn, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 8

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the remaining cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix until breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle the breadcrumb-cheese mixture evenly over the potato mixture in the casserole dish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
