A loaded potato casserole recipe that tastes phenomenal and it's soeasy to put together! Everyone will be coming back for seconds!
I cannot believe how quickly July has gone. Wait...I can't believe how quickly this summer has gone by! Before you know it, fall will be here.
I am not a huge fan of fall besides having pumpkin and caramel in just about everything. Those are the only two that I truly look forward to in fall.After that, I look forward to the spring when the flowers start to blossom and the temperatures start rising.
Have you had a great summer so far? I would love to hear about it! 🙂
Let's get back to the subject of this amazing loaded potato casserole, shall we? I know you all will just love this because it didn'tlast very long in our house -gone in a couple of days.
When I was making it, I thought I would be able to freezer half of it because we are just two people. Scratch off that idea. The hubby said he could of eaten the entire pan. He almost did!
I had some of it as well and let me tell you, I will be making this again. It's a fantastic side dish or it really could be eaten for breakfast as well. It's loaded with potato slices, cheese, bacon pieces and an awesome custard (eggs and milk).
For this dish, you can make it in a 9x13 casserole dish or in two 9x9 baking dishes.

Good recipe. Needs chopped green onions in the layers, and sour cream dotting the top when serving to make it truly "loaded". Labor intensive, though....forgot to read the time before starting and we ended up eating at 8.
Family ate it all up! Thanks!Reply

I am glad your family enjoyed it, Shelley! Will have to try it with the green onions in the layers with sour cream - sounds delicious!

This recipe sounds amazing and I can't wait to try it!! I was wondering if you wanted to half the recipe, would you just use one cup of milk and one egg along w/only 3 potatoes? Thank you in advance!
Reply
- Chelsea says
I haven't tried it, but I'm sure that you would just need to cut everything in half. So 3 potatoes, 1 cup of cheese total (1/2 of each blend), 4 slices bacon, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg. Let me know how it works 🙂 Hope you have a great week!

So both pie pans serve 4-5 people combined or each pie pan will serve 4-5 people? Thank you in advance.

If making one portion for freezing, at which point should I freeze it--- after step 3 and before baking? Your photos look amazing! Cant wait to try it.

Hi! When I originally made this recipe, I thought we would be able to freeze the other half - didn't end up happening. We loved it way too much. I will try freezing it the next time I make it. I would definitely freeze it before baking it; however, I have not tried it yet. Thank you so much for the sweet words! 🙂 Hope you are having a great week so far.

Can I make it ahead of time? Day before? Any advice on reheating?
Reply
- Chelsea says
Terribly sorry for the late reply, Meaghan! I have never tried making this casserole ahead of time, not sure how the potatoes would hold up in the refrigerator. For reheating you should be able to set the oven to 350 degrees with foil on top and allow it to warm up, or you can even use a microwave.

I'm going to try your recipe tonight. It's something I've been looking forward to. However, It's difficult to read your recipe on this site. It's covered with adds giving maybe an inch to view (on my iPhone). My pudgy fingers was taken to the add sites a few times...very frustrating. You're a talented chef, but the adds are really ...again..frustrating . I don't usually post.. But just wanted you to know, if you don't all ready.
Thanks

Looked great on Pinterest, followed instructions to a tee, eggs cooked, looked like scrambled eggs/potato bake. Not a cheesy potato casserole. Would be a good breakfast dish though.

Hi Tara! Not sure what may have went wrong, never had any results like that before.

I tried this today, and let me just say, I had to try real hard to not eat the whole casserole in one bite! It came out amazing!! I used vegetables instead of the meat and half the amount of cheese, substituted he eggs for !/2 cup of oats and it just came out so perfect! I can't wait to try it again 😀

I will have to try it your way soon, Mootie! Sounds great!

What type of milk do you use? Whole milk? Evaporated milk?

- Nikki says
Can't wait to try this recipe, but wanted to know do you split the egg & milk mixture between the 2 pans of potatoes?
Reply
- Chelsea says
Hey Nikki! You are correct! Enjoy 🙂

can I make 1 big casserole in a 9x13 dish instead of splitting it in half?
Reply

I haven't tried making it in a 9x13 baking dish, Nicole. I would think you could.
