- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 green onions sliced for garnish
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into 1 inch cubes and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, crumbled bacon, diced onion, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of color and added flavor.
