CALHOUN’S TWICE-BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE

Here’s the recipe for Calhoun’s Twice-Baked Potatoes…

Ingredients

  • 7 large baked potatoes (450 for 1 hr)
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8 oz) bottle ranch dressing (can use lite)
  • 8 ounces grated cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces bacon bits (can omit)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (can omit)

Topping

  • 2 cups corn flake crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

  • Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp
  • Place pulp and 1 stick melted butter in food processor with blade attachment or in mixing bowl with paddle attachment (can mash by hand with large fork)
  • Mix until pulp is smooth with only a few lumps
  • Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Do not over mix
  • Spread evenly into 9 x 13 in casserole dish using rubber spatula
  • Mix cornflake crumbs and butter. Spread evenly on top.
  • Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook additional 5 minutes (I think this needs to be longer — maybe 10-15 min)

Yield: 10-12 servings

Potatoes can be baked ahead and refrigerate them, but pulp comes out easier when slightly warm.
