Ingredients

10 large russet baking potatoes (about 7 pounds total)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/2 pound sharp white Cheddar, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 pound mild Cheddar, grated (3 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
3 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Scrub the potatoes well and rinse under cool running water. Pat dry with paper towels and prick the potatoes in several places with a fork. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside on a wire rack until cool enough to handle.

When the potatoes have cooled, cut each potato in half and, using a spoon or a melon baller, scoop the flesh out of the skins, leaving as little flesh as possible. Place the potato flesh in a large bowl and add 1 stick of the butter, the sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and pepper and mash until chunky-smooth. Add the bacon, cubed white Cheddar, half of the grated Cheddar, the green onions, and eggs and mix thoroughly.

Butter a 9 by 13-inch casserole with the remaining tablespoon of butter and reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.

Place the seasoned potato mixture in the prepared casserole and top with the remaining grated Cheddar. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges and heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. Serve hot.

THE Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is wonderful. If you are looking for a good recipe-This is it! Some recipes say to boil the potatoes--Then it... wouldn't be twice baked and the flavor would not be the same. Make as directed and you will love it.Read more

Great comfort and anytime food
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a 60th birthday potluck knowing the hosts were supplying sliced tri-tip and bbq salmon. I made a double... batch, so it was a bit time consuming, but forgiving. I baked, scooped, smashed and added butter and cream the night before -got tired- and finished with everything else in the morning. Baked it before we went and it was gone, gone within the first 15 minutes of seving time. Good thing I saved a bit out to try the next night with our own dinner. I really enjoyed this and would like to pair it at Christmas when I usually do twice baked potatoes and Prime Rib. You could do it back in the potato shell too with great results. Just depends on your own likes. Will definately make again! Read more
