Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes
1 cup sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt as a swap)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped green onions, divided
6 slices cooked, crumbled smoked breakfast meat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup milk (any fat level or plant milk)
1/4 cup butter, melted or softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar size.
Place whole russet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour depending on size.
Let the potatoes cool enough to handle.
Once cooled, peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl combine the cubed potatoes, sour cream, milk, butter, half of the shredded cheddar, half of the chopped green onions, the crumbled cooked slices, and salt and pepper. Fold gently.
Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the top is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace the smoked meat with sautéed mushrooms or smoked tempeh.
