Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 lb potatoes, scrubbed 🥔
- ¾ cup shallots, minced 🧅
- 3 cups white cheddar cheese, grated and divided 🧀
- 1 ½ cup sour cream 🥄
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated 🧀
- ½ tsp garlic powder 🧄
- Salt, to taste 🧂
- Freshly ground white pepper, to taste 🌶️
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the potatoes: Pierce each potato with a fork several times to allow steam to escape. Wrap them individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-60 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. 🥔🔪
3️⃣ Chill the potatoes: After the potatoes have cooled, refrigerate them overnight, or for at least 3-4 hours. This step is crucial as it helps in grating the potatoes easily while maintaining their texture. ❄️
4️⃣ Preheat the oven again: When ready to assemble the casserole, preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). 🔥
5️⃣ Grate and mix: Remove the chilled potatoes from the refrigerator, and using a grater, shred them into a large mixing bowl. Add the minced shallots, 2 cups of the grated white cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground white pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. 🥔🧊
6️⃣ Prepare the casserole dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the potato mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly. 🥄🧈
7️⃣ Add the cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated white cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the grated parmesan cheese. 🧀
8️⃣ Bake to perfection: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, comforting goodness! 🍽️✨
