Creamy and loaded with flavor, this fantastic baked potato casserole is meant to serve a crowd. The sour cream mixture with ranch adds tons of flavor. We love the addition of green chiles to give this side dish a Tex-Mex feel. It's layered with lots of cheese and topped with bacon and bits of green onion. Yum! We've had this at our family reunion for years! It's always been a hit with everyone. I always bake the potatoes a day or two before and refrigerate. It makes cooking time very short!

Recipe Cuisine: American Recipe Category: Potatoes Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients :
- 8-10 large potatoes
- baked
- 2 stick(s) butter
- softened
- 32 ounce(s) sour cream
- 10 slice(s) bacon
- fried
- 1 bunch(es) green onions
- sliced
- 1 can(s) green chilies
- drained & chopped (4 oz)
- 4 cup(s) cheddar cheese
- shredded
- 1 package(s) ranch dressing
- dry
- - salt and pepper
- to taste
Intructions :
- Bake potatoes and refrigerate the night before. They are easy to handle when you go to slice them. Mix ranch dressing
- green chilies
- and sour cream the night before. It gives it time to marry the flavors (but not necessary).
- Also
- go ahead and fry the bacon and crumble it. Stick in the refrigerate overnight.
- Also
- slice the green onions and put them in the refrigerator. The more you do the night before
- the easier it is the day of the BBQ or party. It's easy peasy!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice potatoes with a mandolin (that way potatoes warm evenly). Use a casserole dish 9X13 or larger if you have one. Spray with PAM or whatever you like
- or even butter it. You don't want it to stick.
- Put a layer of potatoes.
- Then a layer of butter and then part of the sour cream mixture.
- Then a layer of cheese.
- Start over with the layers ending with the cheese.
- Top with bacon and bake for 35-45 minutes.
- Once baked
- top with green onions. I usually put the green onions in a bowl
- set them aside
- and let them help themselves as some don't like onions at all. Enjoy! ]
