Rustic Twice-Baked Potato Casserole
The ingredients;
- 5 lbs russet potatoes, baked (approx. 12 cups when chopped)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated & divided
- 3/4 cup low fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 3/4 teaspoon dry ground mustard
- 1-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2-3 minced garlic cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 or 2 dashes cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup chopped green onions, white and green parts, divided
Steps for preparation :
Firstly, Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes under running water.do not forget Use a metal fork to poke a few holes in each potato. After that, Place on rack in oven and bake for 50-60 mins, until soft when squeezed. Remove and cool entirely or refrigerate for gathering casserole later.
TO ASSEMBLE CASSEROLE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Leaving skin on, chop baked, cooled potatoes into 3/4" cubes and add to large bowl. In separate small bowl, add yogurt, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder,milk, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, cayenne (if using), and 3/4 cup green onions; stir till mixed. Pour over potatoes and toss until mixed.After that Transfer mixture to an oiled or sprayed 3-quart (9x13") clear baking dish.
Sprinkle left cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered 45-55 mins, until lightly browned on top, and edges and bottom are visibly well browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped green onions on top.
MAKE AHEAD TIP. refrigerate it after covering the dish for up to 1 day in advance.. Remove from the fridge a 30 minutes before you want to bake it,
Finally, Keep them in the fridge and reheat in the oven, or on the stove top or grill. After that, Try reheating in a skillet on the stove-top in order to restore those crispy, brown parts. Great with breakfast that way. Or, wrap it in a foil packet and reheat it on the grill--it can also get brown and crispy that way.
