📋 Ingredients:
- 3 large russet potatoes 🥔
- 1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream 🥛
- 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese 🧀 (divided)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🌰
- Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted 🧈
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish 🌿
📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Bake the potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 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 375°F (190°C). 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!
