๐ Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Bake the potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Scrub the potatoes clean and poke holes in them with a fork. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 1 hour, or until tender. Allow them to cool completely, preferably overnight in the fridge for best results.
- Grate the potatoes:
- Once cooled, peel the potatoes (optional) and grate them using a box grater. Be gentle to avoid mashing the potatoes; you want the grated texture to stay light and fluffy.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- Mix the base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, 1 1/2 cups of shredded white cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together without overmixing.
3. Assemble the Casserole:
- Transfer to baking dish:
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the dish.
- Top with cheese and butter:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese over the top, and drizzle the melted butter over the casserole.
4. Bake:
- Bake the casserole:
- Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Bake the Potatoes Romanoff for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
5. Serve:
- Garnish and serve:
- Garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving. Let the dish cool slightly before cutting into portions.
- Enjoy:
- Serve as a delicious side dish with your favorite meats, or enjoy it on its own!
