Loaded Potato Casserole

"I’ve always had a soft spot for potatoes in just about any form—mashed, baked, fried, roasted, scalloped… if it’s a potato, I’m probably going to love it. There’s just something so comforting and homey about a good potato dish, and this Loaded Potato Casserole is one of my favorites. It’s creamy, cheesy, full of flavor, and it truly feels like comfort food wrapped in a casserole dish. This is one of those side dishes that works for just about any occasion—holiday dinners, Sunday family meals, potlucks, and big family get-togethers. It’s always a crowd favorite and disappears so fast every time I make it. I used to make a version of this in the slow cooker for family gatherings, and it was always such an easy, make-ahead way to keep everyone happily fed. Now, this baked version has become just as loved and just as reliable whenever I need a cozy, hearty side dish.
