A delightful twist on a classic potato casserole, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, then let them cool.
Boiling the potatoes with their skins helps retain their nutrients and flavor.
Peel the cooled potatoes and grate them into a large mixing bowl.
Grating the potatoes creates a uniform texture for the casserole.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with butter.
Ensure the dish is well-greased to prevent sticking.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the grated cheese until melted. Remove from heat and mix in the sour cream, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
Stir continuously to prevent the cheese from burning.
Combine the cheese sauce with the grated potatoes, mixing thoroughly.
Ensure the sauce is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, dot with butter, and sprinkle with paprika.
Dotting with butter adds richness to the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Allowing the casserole to cool slightly helps it set and makes serving easier.
