This Layered Mashed Potato Casserole is the ultimate side dish. Seriously it is so good, you could actually just eat this as a main course.
So what exactly is a layered mashed potato casserole? Well it is exactly what the title suggests, except in this case, i've added a layer of sweet potato, as well as regular potato, and then of course cheese and bacon goodness on the top. It's yum!!
You can vary the layers too, just do all regular potato if you don't like sweet potatoes, or all sweet potato, if you prefer the lovely sweetness of sweet potatoes.
I don't use a full healthy extra of cheese per person for the topping, as I don't feel it needs it, which gives you half an healthy extra a to use elsewhere in the day.
Looking for some main meals you could serve this with? Then check out my main course recipes for inspiration.
This Layered Mashed Potato Casserole is gluten free, if you omit the bacon on top, it will also be vegetarian friendly.
Side dishes don't need to be boring, forgot plain ole mashed potatoes, and make this Layered Mashed Potato Casserole today.
