How to Make Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.
Cut the baked potatoes into bite-size chunks.
Step 2: Build the First Layer
Spread half of the potatoes on the bottom of the baking pan.
Season with salt and pepper.
Top with half of the chopped bacon.
Drizzle sour cream over the bacon — don’t worry if it doesn’t fully cover.
Sprinkle half of the Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses over the top.
Step 3: Add the Second Layer
Layer the remaining potatoes, then a bit more cheese.
Sprinkle with the rest of the bacon, drizzle more sour cream, and top with remaining cheese and green onions.
Step 4: Bake
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Every scoop is loaded with creamy potatoes, melted cheese, and crispy bacon — pure happiness!
What to Serve With Twice Baked Potato Casserole

-
Grilled steak or chicken

Roasted vegetables

Green salad for freshness

Garlic bread (because more carbs = more joy)
Tips for the Perfect Potato Casserole
-
Use baked potatoes, not boiled — they hold their texture better.
-
Drain bacon well to prevent grease pooling.
-
Warm the sour cream slightly before drizzling to make layering easier.
-
Let it rest 5 minutes after baking so it’s easier to scoop.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To reheat, cover with foil and warm at 350°F for 15 minutes, or microwave single portions until hot.
You can also freeze it before baking — just assemble, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and bake as directed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble it a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
Q: Can I use russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold?
Absolutely — russets work great and give a slightly fluffier texture.

Add an extra layer of cheese between the potato layers or sprinkle some Parmesan on top before baking.
