Instructions:

- Prepare Casserole Dish: Butter a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish, ensuring a nice coating.
- Cook Potatoes: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender. Once done, drain and set aside.
- Mix Cheesy Goodness: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, romano cheese, parmesan cheese, sour cream, green onions, fresh parsley, dried basil, and fresh garlic. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Add Swiss Cheese: Gently fold in 1 cup of Swiss cheese into the mixture.
- Incorporate Potatoes: Carefully fold in the cooked potatoes until they are evenly coated with the cheesy mixture.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the cheesy potato mixture into the prepared greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven, uncovered, and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s bubbly and lightly browned on top.
- Add Final Touch: Sprinkle the top with the remaining Swiss cheese and a dusting of paprika for that extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Let it Rest: Once out of the oven, let the casserole stand for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
