Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sour cream, milk, melted butter, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 5
Add 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped green onions to the potato mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Top with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions for garnish.
Step 8
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish. Enjoy your ‘Papa S Papas Casserole’!
