Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 to 25 minutes (ovens vary)
Total Time: 30 to 35 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 13 medium russet potatoes, baked until about 2/3 done (still firm to cut)
• 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3 cups sour cream
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 green onions or chives, chopped 
• fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Here’s how to make it: 

1. Prepare a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Quarter the cooked potatoes and place half in the prepared casserole dish in a single layer. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. (Instead of baking the potatoes, you can microwave them until they're 2/3 done (still firm to cut). Instead of cheddar cheese, you can try this recipe with Parmesan or another favorite cheese.)
3. Top with half of the sour cream, sliced green onions or chives, and then the cheeses. Repeat layers. Top with more cheese. 
4. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheeses are melted and golden. Sprinkle with additional sliced scallions or chives, and/or fresh parsley, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or oven.
