Step By Step How to Make This Casserole
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Peel and cube your potatoes. Wash them off very good for several minutes in a colander. Place them in a large pot and boil for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Step 2
Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl. Mash with the end of a whisk or a potato masher. Add in the sour cream, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, bacon bits, green onions, melted butter and spices. Mix well. For best results, use an electric hand mixer.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into your casserole dish. Top with the remaining 2 and 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for around 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
