A delightful twist on a classic potato casserole, this recipe combines creamy textures with savory toppings for a dish that's sure to please.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Wash and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a baking dish.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Dot the potatoes with butter evenly across the dish.
Distribute the butter evenly for consistent flavor.
Spread the sour cream over the potatoes, covering them completely.
Use a spatula to spread the sour cream smoothly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the crispy bacon and green onions on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Adding the toppings towards the end keeps them crisp and fresh.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy loaded potato bake.
Garnish with extra green onions for a fresh touch.
