Description
Instant Pot Twice Baked Potatoes Casserole is a quick and delicious twist on the classic twice-baked potatoes, combining creamy mashed potatoes, cheese, and sour cream into one satisfying casserole. It’s easy to make, comforting, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Peel and cube the russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. This helps them cook evenly and quickly in the Instant Pot.
- Add the cubed potatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to ‘Sealing.’
- Select the ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ setting and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release to release the pressure.
- Once the pressure is released, open the Instant Pot and mash the potatoes directly in the pot using a potato masher or hand mixer.
- Add the sour cream, cream cheese, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- If you’d like a crispy top, place the casserole under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the mix.For a richer flavor, mix in other cheeses like Monterey Jack or gouda.Vegetarians can load up the casserole with extra veggies like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.If you prefer a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and cream cheese.Leftover casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
