Mom's Potato Casserole

It was all about my mom's love of butter, cheese and potatoes. As the family grew, it was easy to double or triple for the Christmas crowd. Ingredients: 6 large baked Russet potatoes (baked with skins on, then peeled, crumble potatoes to small pieces)

1 stick butter (room temp) Plus 1/2 stick cut in small pieces for topping.

1 cup sour cream (room temp)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 - 1/2 cup for plus more for topping

3 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled

1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped green onion

salt and pepper

Instructions: 1. Gently combine potatoes, butter, sour cream, 2 tsp of salt and pepper to taste. 2. Gently add 1 cup cheese, green onions, bacon. Add more salt if desired. 3. Put in a 2 quart ungreased casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and butter pieces. 4. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until "bubbly."
