Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (710 ml) white cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 ½ cups (355 ml) sour cream
- 2 pounds (907 g) potatoes, scrubbed
- ½ cup (120 ml) parmesan cheese, grated
- ¾ cup (177 ml) shallots, minced
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- White pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously wash potatoes, puncturing multiple times with a fork. Wrap individually in aluminum foil and roast at 425ºF for 45-55 minutes until completely tender.
- Cooling Process: Allow potatoes to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for minimum 4 hours to optimize texture and facilitate precise grating.
- Mixing Foundation: Grate chilled potatoes using a box grater, combining with finely minced shallots in a spacious mixing bowl. Fold in sour cream, white cheddar, garlic powder, kosher salt, and white pepper until ingredients are seamlessly integrated.
- Assembly: Lightly coat a rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Spread potato mixture evenly, creating a uniform layer and top generously with remaining white cheddar and parmesan cheese.
- Baking Finale: Roast in a preheated 350ºF oven for 30-40 minutes, allowing cheese to melt completely and develop a golden, crispy exterior that promises rich, comforting flavors.
Notes
- Potato Chilling Hack: Refrigerate potatoes for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve the perfect texture and make grating easier.
- Grating Technique: Use a box grater for delicate, uniform potato shreds that create a smooth, creamy casserole base.
- Cheese Layering Pro: Sprinkle cheese generously on top for a golden, crispy exterior that adds rich flavor and appealing texture.
- Temperature Precision: Roast potatoes at 425ºF, then bake the final dish at 350ºF to ensure even cooking and optimal doneness.
