These dreamy Loaded Scalloped Potatoes are the epitome of comforting tummy filling side dishes. Tender parboiled slices of fresh potatoes are smothered in a creamy sour cream sauce, seasoned with bacon and fresh chives and plenty of gooey cheese.
Loaded Scalloped Potatoes
The love of potatoes is universal, I think. Everyone loves those carb laden root vegetables in one form or another. Hence the reason, I have a plethora of potato casseroles that I turn to when I want to make an indulgent side dish. They're incredibly versatile and compliment so many entrees. I often make some sort of potato casserole when entertaining as they can be assembled in advance and baked just before serving. The creamy sauce, smokey bacon, cheddar cheese and chives, it's everything you love about a baked potato with the ease of serving it to a crowd.
Tips for Making Loaded Scalloped Potatoes
- To expedite dinner preparation, this casserole can be fully assembled, chilled and then baked when you're ready to eat.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes initially so, they'll maintain a pleasing texture after baking.
- You may use more, or less bacon to your personal taste.
- While I don't often cook with canned soups, it works very well in the dish.
- You may adapt using your favorite blend of cheese or what you have on hand.

Hi Ashley! I would guess that you would at least need to double this recipe. If your family has a big appetite, consider tripling, it goes fast. Have fun with the family! ~ Melissa
