How To Make: Twice Baked Potato Casserole

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: light cream cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Ricotta is often cheaper and provides a similar texture.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: colby jack cheese

Colby jack is usually less expensive and melts well.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham can be a more affordable protein.

Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Rub potatoes thoroughly with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. Place on a baking sheet or directly on oven rack and bake until tender, 45-60 minutes, turning over halfway through.

Let cool until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

Add sour cream and mayonnaise to bowl and stir to combine.

Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, 3/4 of the green onion, and 3/4 of the bacon and stir to combine. Spread into prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese and bacon.

Cover dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes more. Top with green onions and serve. Enjoy!
