2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and prick the potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 1 hour or until tender. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Grate the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and grate the cooled potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Add chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and black pepper to the grated potatoes. Mix gently until well combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a healthier version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese, or substitute Greek yogurt.
Make ahead by preparing the casserole up to a day in advance and refrigerating until ready to bake.
