For years I’ve been making twice baked potatoes. My family loves them and they’ve been known to eat them for just about any meal of the day. I say this because my oldest son loves twice baked potatoes for breakfast along with his eggs. I’m good with that but honestly, I’m not a fan of making stuffed baked potatoes first thing in the morning. Since I have a small attitude problem regarding these taters, I finally got my act together and came up with the perfect way to serve these yummy spuds without all the work!

I’ve turned my traditional, much loved twice baked potato recipe into a casserole. When I came up with this idea, I actually laughed out loud because I kept thinking how silly it was that I’d never thought of this before. Just bake the potatoes, scoop out the middle, add in all the good stuff then bake it all together. Boom!There ya have it.

For my stuffed potato casserole, I keep things simple, just like I do when I “twice” bake them. Butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon are the all star ingredients. The only other thing that’s needed is just the right amount of salt and pepper.

After all my filling is mixed together, instead of putting it back into the potato skins, I just pile it into a casserole dish and smooth it out. But hold on…I don’t stop there, I add more bacon and cheese on top to bring the whole thing together. After baking up my casserole, I sprinkle on a bit of chopped parsley and serve. I do add a decedent twist to the casserole when I serve it for company and the holidays. I add fresh chives to sour cream to serve along side my casserole. This is a terrific side dish that does double or maybe even triple duty in my house and I proudly serve it any time of the the day all year round!
