Loaded red potato casserole is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting side dish that combines all the flavors of a loaded baked potato in an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing casserole.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs red potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 green onions or chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Boil the red potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, mix warm potatoes with butter, sour cream, and cream cheese (if using) until just combined, keeping some chunks for texture.
  4. Stir in shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and half of the chopped green onions.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  7. Garnish with remaining green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Mix in steamed broccoli or roasted mushrooms for a veggie twist.
  • Use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Add chopped pickled jalapeños or cayenne for spice.
  • Can be made ahead and stored unbaked in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezes well when tightly wrapped and thawed before reheating.
