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.

Good ol' potatoe casserole
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this for quite some time. To cut the cooking time in half I boil the potatoes instead of baking them and... it comes out great! Also I never use the onions. I always get compliments on this recipe and best of all my kids love it! Read more

Potluck Dinner: Old School Eaters Say, "Best they've ever had!"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I put this dish together for the first time, a bit of a gamble, exactly per Emeril's recipe the night before, then baked and... served it next evening after refrigerating for about 24 hours. First time recipes usually need "tweeking" to make them better in subsequent attemps, but this one, no way! It's perfect, a superbly delicious winner. Thank you Chef Lagasse. Wow! Read more

my lower fat version
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only used 1/2 the butter, 1/2 lb of each cheese (it could take even less shredded cheese) 1%fat yogurt for sour cream and... it was still delicious. I made this for a football game potluck brunch and it was a hit! Don't be turned off by the obscene amounts of high fat products...make it my way and it isn't unreasonable. I will sooo make this again!Read more

deliiiicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. I always get compliments on it, and there is never any... left...and it is a huge recipe! I have never made it with the onions and often only bake it with bacon in half for those that want some. It's pretty hard to look past all the fattening ingredients in this, but I guess it's only for special occasions after all.Read more
