Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup (226 grams) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the baking dish
- Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a 350°F (175°C) oven, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heating.
- Cut potatoes into uniform cubes and submerge in salted water. Boil for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork, then thoroughly drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk together sour cream, cheddar, Parmesan, minced garlic, milk, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture becomes creamy and well-integrated.
- Carefully fold the cooled potato cubes into the cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the rich, seasoned sauce.
- Liberally butter a 9×13-inch baking dish, then transfer the potato and cheese blend, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling edges that indicate the casserole is perfectly heated.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the dish to set. Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions across the top for a vibrant garnish before serving while still warm.
Notes
- Enhance potato texture by patting them dry after boiling to prevent excess moisture in the final dish.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like Gruyère or sharp white cheddar for a unique flavor profile.
- Reduce calorie content by substituting full-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt or low-fat alternatives.
- Make the dish vegetarian-friendly by ensuring all cheese and dairy products are rennet-free.
