Like some of the other reviewers, I've made this recipe ever given that it appeared in a Taste of Residence vacation assortment I picked up at a grocery retailer. many years ago. I agree that model called for a lot more potatoes and I've usually used a bit much less sour cream. But for Easter this 12 months, I transformed it up a bit following reading through some of these testimonials. I manufactured a single 9x13 and one particular 2-qt casserole using about 7 lbs of potatoes. I cut/seasoned/roasted the potatoes in the oven the evening just before, cooled them overnight, brought them to space temp, then assembled the casseroles ahead of baking on Easter. For the onions, I chopped a sweet onion, then softened the onion a bit in the microwave and stirred it into the sour cream prior to including the sour cream to the recipe. I do feel this was the ideal this casserole has ever turned out. Acquired plenty of compliments and folks had been content to take house the number of leftovers there had been.

I really like twice baked potatoes so this casserole is absolutely one particular I'll attempt. I know ahead of time that I won't use the sum of sour cream referred to as for due to past knowledge of the overpowering taste when I've produced twice baked potatoes. My remedy to that is to substitute French Onion chip dip for a portion of the sour cream. Not only does it eradicate the sour cream aftertaste but it adds a nice flavor to the potatoes! It's a simple, easy solution.

Can you boil the potatoes ahead of time? Or how prolonged are the potatoes supposed to be baked ahead of time?

I have utilised this recipe for many years at Christmas time. It is a family members preferred and effortless to make ahead. Soon after it is produced, I put in the slow cooker to heat up Christmas morning for dinner later that day.

I have manufactured this many times and agree with a earlier commenter, the amount of potato has been changed. I use russets (properly scrubbed with skins left on) simply because I prefer a starchy potato for this dish and use about 3 lbs. We get about eight good sized portions. Skimpy portions are not permitted in my kitchen. I choose to cube the potatoes and roast them in a large baking dish prior to hand. I also double the sum of salt and black pepper to one/2 tsp. Twice baked potatoes are a favorite of each my husband and me and this casserole hits the spot.

I have manufactured this recipe numerous times, precisely as it states. To the peoplethat will not approve of this recipe, all I can say is that you significantly not likea loaded potato. This is simply a enormous loaded potato. It truly is fantastic.If you never have adequate potato, select more substantial potatoes. My potatoesare most likely med/lg. If you haven't tried the recipe, you may well besurprised to uncover out that all the ingredients actually work. Try out it ! ! !Thanks Taste of Property, you do a great job! ! ! !

I 1st produced this recipe a number of years ago. The edition I printed back then just stated "6 medium potatoes". When converting my recipes from paper to electronic, I observed the potato sort and quantity has changed, now becoming "one one/2 lbs red potatoes." 6 medium russet potatoes are undoubtedly various in mass to 1 one/2 lbs red potatoes! I did try out and the red potato quantity is definitely not adequate for the amount of other components in the recipe. If quantities are balanced more appropriately, recipe is wonderful!

bwilkin-I agree with you one hundred%. today at Albertsons I purchased a 10lb bag of potatoes > holidays needs on sale. if you do the math waaaay to significantly extra stuff not close to ample potato ratio. I in fact considered it was a misprint.

If the reviewer thinks this is vile, then it isn't a assessment is it?? It really is a recipe that is a treat, not anything a single would prepare each and every day. It's like a loaded baked potato on a grand scale. Maybe the person who "thinks" this is vile, must go to a far more mundane meals site. one for people who are afraid of food. It's all in how moderate you are. BTW, my preference was to reduce back a minor on the sour cream and cheese. I eliminated the mozzarella and utilised cheddar and jack, added a minor garlic powder and chives. It was fantastic with steak ideas and green beans with mushrooms. This is a bona fide evaluation simply because i really created it.

This sounds vile. No way I will attempt this. "Taste of Property" you Really missed the mark on choosing this as your "Recipe Of The Day".
