This turned out pretty good with some adjustments but I feel some of the amounts are off and that there might even be and ingredient left out. For starters 1 pound of potatoes was 2 fairly small potatoes which is not nearly enough to serve 8 people. It's also not enough to balance 3 cups of sour cream 4 cups of cheese and a pound of bacon. I believe 1 pound of potatoes has to be a typo. The other issue is the sour cream mixture itself. Once everything is blended it is extremely thick making it impossible to stir your potatoes to get them incorporated in the mixture. I feel a liquid was left out. Milk heavy cream or half and half perhaps? The sour cream mixture just stays in a big blob and does not thin down over the potatoes while baking which results in a dry casserole. If I were to make again I'd add 1/2 cup of half and half to the sour cream mixture prior to adding the potatoes. Read More

I thought it was yummy! Only thing I changed is after 1 hr. in oven, taters were not done & I had to put them in the microwave. Believe its b.c of me/my oven. It's too easy to turn oven off oven when changing timer. My hubby complained about leaving the skin on. He normally eats the skin. I think the microwave made skin to chewy? Anyway, I really enjoyed it for supper, then breakfast, then supper again! GRREAT as Tony the Tiger would say! Read More

Delicious easier than making individual twice-baked potatoes AND if you do have any of this casserole left over it's wonderful the next day! Read More
