Preparation

Step 1

The great thing about this casserole is that you can easily adjust the recipe to match what you like in your own baked potato. Bacon or no bacon; chives or no chives; even if you want to use different cheeses, there is plenty of room to experiment and make the recipe your own. And if you’re looking for a dish to bring for a potluck or a side dish for a big dinner table, this casserole comes in handy then as well.

(makes 16 servings)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the chopped potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook them over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender. Then, drain the potatoes. (You could also bake the potatoes in the oven and then cut them into chunks.)

In a separate bowl, mix the salt, pepper, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, sour cream, and onion. Then, add this mixture to the saucepan with the potatoes and toss thoroughly.

Grease a 2.5- to 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray, and then spoon the mixture into the dish.
