Directions: |
Directions:Butter/spray with cooking spray a 13X9 baking dish or gratin. Cook bacon in skillet until brown. Drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon into bits and place in a small bowl with the sliced green onions. Toss to mix and set aside. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks (halve potato and cut each half into 4 chunks). Place in a large pot, cover with cold water and stir in a little salt to taste. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook with lid slightly ajar for 15 to 20 minutes, until a knife slices in easily. Drain well.
Return potatoes to pot on low heat. Cook about 2 minutes, shaking pan often, until potatoes are dry and a film is starting to form on the bottom of the pot. Add sour cream, milk and butter and mash until almost smooth. Add more milk if potatoes seem too dry. Stir in 2 cups Gouda and all but 1/2 cup of the bacon and green onion mixture. Spread potato mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining Gouda. (At this point can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill potato casserole and remaining bacon mixture separately).
Preheat oven 375º. Bake 30-40 minutes until cheese melts and edges are brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle reserved bacon mixture on top while casserole is hot. Makes 10 servings or more. |
