Growing up, we had potato dishes fairly often. Probably because they were so affordable. I don’t know about you, but I absolutely loved when we had grilled “baked” potatoes!
Even now, I usually throw in a few extra potatoes in when we bake or grill – so I can have them for lunches or so I can make this yummy and easy casserole dish! Or I use my Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes recipe when I want to make them ahead for dishes like this!
This side dish recipe is perfect for any occasion since you can easily make a lot (this recipe easily doubles or triples this for larger crowds!). And, it’s pretty affordable. Not to mention, who wouldn’t love a big ol’ scoop of this bacon-y, potato-y, cheesiness?! 😍

Twice-Baked Potato Casserole FAQs
Yes! This is a great dish to make a day ahead and then heat it right before eating. Prepare the casserole, but don’t bake it. About 30-35 minutes before you’re ready to eat, preheat your oven and proceed to bake the casserole as instructed in the recipe.
– NOTE: Depending on your baking dish, you may want to allow it to come to room temperature before baking so it doesn’t crack or explode.
Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrap the leftovers in the casserole dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and use any leftovers within 3-5 days.
Yes! Personally, I prefer to use disposable aluminum pans when freezing casseroles. Be sure your pan is wrapped airtight with plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil. For best results, be sure to use it within two to three months. Allow the dish to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
– For larger portions, it’s best to reheat them in the oven. Bake leftovers at 350°F in the baking dish with aluminum foil over the top for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil and bake an additional 8-12 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly.
– For smaller portions, feel free to use your microwave. Place the desired amount of leftover in a microwave-safe container or plate and loosely cover with a microwave cover or damp paper towels. Microwave on full power for 3-4 minutes or until the leftovers are heated through. Note that microwaves are different, so use your best judgment when reheating.
Recipe Tips
- This recipe easily doubles or triples to feed a crowd.
- I prefer to keep the skins on my potatoes since the skin has more nutrients than the inside of the potato. It also has fiber. However, you can peel your potatoes if you prefer.
- This recipe is a great dish to make a day ahead and then heat it right before eating. Prepare the casserole, but don’t bake it. About 30-35 minutes before you’re ready to eat, preheat your oven and proceed to bake the casserole as instructed in the recipe. **NOTE** Use caution if using a glass baking dish – not all dishes can be taken directly from a cold environment to a hot one without exploding or breaking. If in doubt, allow your casserole dish to sit on the countertop for about 30 minutes (use some of that time your oven is preheating) to allow it to come to room temperature.
