Ingredients

6 large potatoes peeled and diced
1/4 cup butter softened
1/2 cup milk
4 oz. cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups shredded cheese divided
Salt and pepper to taste
3 green onions thinly sliced
1/2 cup bacon cooked and diced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°c.
Place the diced potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.
Add the milk, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 cup of the cheese to the cooked and drained potatoes. Stir through gently until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon the potatoes into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle over the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
Top the potato casserole with the sliced green onions and cooked diced bacon before serving.

Notes

It doesn’t matter if the potatoes don’t completely cook in the saucepan, they will finish cooking in the oven.

Cover the casserole loosely with aluminium foil if browning too quickly in the oven.
The green onions and cooked bacon are optional, and can be left off the casserole if preferred. Can also substitute with cooked diced ham.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight contianer for 3-4 days.
