Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them in half. Boil them until they are firm but tender. Alternatively, you can microwave the potatoes to save time. Allow them to cool slightly.
-
-
Grate the Potatoes: Once cooled, coarsely grate the potatoes into a greased casserole dish, making sure they are spread evenly.
-
Add Green Onions and Cheese: Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top of the grated potatoes, then add half of the grated sharp cheddar cheese for a cheesy base.
-
Make the Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, milk, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes and cheese in the casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. If desired, you can sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg over the top for extra flavor.
-
Chill: Cover the casserole and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer to prepare it in advance.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the fridge and bake it uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
-
Serve: Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious when served warm, but it also holds up well for leftovers. You can even warm it up in the microwave for a tasty lunch the next day!
This Potatoes Romanoff recipe is a great addition to your collection of comforting potato dishes. The combination of creamy sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, and the subtle kick from garlic powder and pepper creates an irresistible side that will make everyone ask for seconds.
