This is an amazing side dish! It’s very decadent with cream, butter and bacon but worth every calorie. We have twice baked potato casserole every Christmas with our prime rib. I adapted this from an Emeril Lagasse recipe I found years ago. One note, don’t use an electric mixer; it makes the potatoes too soupy. It’s better a little chunky, just like me!
