This dish combines the delicious flavors of stuffed crumbled potatoes, but it's made as a large casserole for the whole family. No need to peel the potatoes: the skins add more flavor and contain beneficial micronutrients. Simply wash them thoroughly with a brush and slice. The potatoes are mixed with bacon grease and baked under a layer of cheddar and cream cheese. Top the finished casserole with sour cream and sprinkle with crispy bacon bits and green onions. Perfect as a side dish or a hearty breakfast.

• 6 slices bacon, cut into 1cm pieces.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
• In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat.
Step 3
• Place the potatoes in the prepared pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons of rendered bacon fat, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bake until the potatoes are tender and beginning to brown, about 45 minutes.
Step 4
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cream cheese with 1 cup of cheddar. Spoon it over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are cooked through, 13-15 minutes.
Step 5
• Spread sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with green onions and bacon bits.
