Ultimate Loaded Potato Casserole Recipe

Toppings and Seasonings:

  1. Bacon – 1 cup, cooked and crumbled
  • Bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor that enhances the overall taste of the casserole.
  1. Salt and Pepper – to taste
  • Season according to preference; potatoes tend to absorb salt, so don’t be shy.
  1. Fresh Parsley or Chives – chopped, for garnish
  • These add a pop of color and a fresh, mild onion flavor that balances the richness of the dish.

Optional Ingredients:

  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon for extra flavor in the mashed potatoes.
  • Green Onions – Sliced, for a more distinct onion taste.
  • Additional Cheeses – Gruyere, mozzarella, or Parmesan can add complexity to the casserole.
