Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover them with water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Step 2: Once drained, put the potatoes back in the saucepan and toss with the bacon.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the salt, pepper, cheese, sour cream, and onion. Then, add this mixture to the saucepan with the potatoes and toss thoroughly. (If your casserole will be mashed, this is when you'll want to blend your potatoes with a hand-mixer.)
Step 4: Grease a 2.5- to 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray or butter, and then spoon the mixture into the dish.
Step 5: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 6: Top the dish with the remaining cheese and garnish and let it bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy! This dish is perfect for picnics, cook-outs, or just an every day family meal.
Whether you serve it mashed or whole, it's sure to be a big hit with friends and family.
Just make sure you get yourself a heaping helping, because this isn't going to last long!
Doesn't this look amazing? I can't wait to try this out myself!
